STFC will continue to play a major role in space research, as a partner of the Agency, through our direct involvement in supporting space science and technology, and as the lead in the two National Science and Innovation Campuses at Daresbury and Harwell which includes the first ESA Centre in the UK. Specifically STFC will lead on the delivery of the International Space Innovation Centre as the first of our technology gateway centres on the Harwell Campus. Our work with the Agency will continue our efforts to build multidisciplinary connections across the research base, leading to better science outcomes and faster and more productive use of resulting technologies and innovation." http://www.stfc.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/STFC/UKSA.aspx http://www.stfc.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/STFC/UKSA.aspx Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:41:00 GMT Scientists have found a massive galaxy in the early Universe creating stars like our sun up to 100 times faster than the modern-day Milky Way. http://www.stfc.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/STFC/Earlygalaxywentthrough.aspx http://www.stfc.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/STFC/Earlygalaxywentthrough.aspx Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:07:00 GMT During 2009, STFC carried out a review of the Project Research and Development scheme and PPRP processes.
