Corporate strategy
An A4 colour brochure providing a guide to the Science and Technology Facilities Councils future investments in world leading science and technology for the United Kingdom.
The Strategy has been developed in consultation with stakeholders and sets out the key role that STFC plays in rebuilding the economy and the UK’s future competitiveness through the research we support in universities, the research carried out using STFC-provided facilities and the collaborative research and innovation on our Campuses.

Fascination Newsletter
Explore the work of the STFC in our renovated newsletter! Issue 9 of `Fascination` is our `STFC Science in Healthcare` special edition - where we hope to share with you some of the awesome and truly revolutionary science that STFC researchers are contributing to the world of healthcare. This issue is split into four sections: - Fundamental research and technology;
- Diagnosis techniques;
- Treatments;
- STFC highlights
Even though each of the articles highlights fundamental scientific breakthroughs there is still much research needed in all the fields mentioned and therefore we are not yet at a stage for commercial use or human trials. If you would like to sign up to receive Fascination six times a year, please register now (link opens in a new window). Fascination is distributed electronically to be environmentally friendly and cost effective.

Neutron sources
Neutrons are neutral sub-atomic particles with no electrical charge. Because of this, these unassuming particles are non-destructive and can penetrate into matter much deeper than charged particles such as electrons. In addition, because they have a property called spin, neutrons can be used to probe magnetism on an atomic scale.

2003 Career Path Survey
In 1995, a pioneering study was undertaken by DTZ Pieda Consulting to trace the career paths of PhD students within the remit of PPARC. The study focussed on students whose PhD awards had ended 6-8 years earlier as it was expected that they would be well established in a career.
This study was commissioned to update the information on career paths provided by the 1995 study. It focussed on a similar cohort of students whose PhD awards ended between 1995/96 and 1998/99. A similar methodology and questionnaire to the 1995 study were used to ensure that meaningful comparisons could be drawn between the two sets of data.

In 1995, a pioneering study was undertaken by DTZ Pieda Consulting to trace the career paths of PhD students within the remit of PPARC. The study focussed on students whose PhD awards had ended 6-8 years earlier as it was expected that they would be well established in a career.
This study was commissioned to follow up these students and to establish how their career had developed since 1995. The majority of these students came to the end of their PhD award about fifteen years ago.
The sample base for the study is not large (67 respondents) but it is considered to be representative of all those that participated in the 1995 study. The survey findings should be seen only as an indication of the long term career paths of former PPARC PhD students.
