The DSC is an STFC initiative to establish a dynamic, open innovation, technology centre with a critical mass of expertise from STFC, academia and industry to deliver training and catalyse new advanced product development in the UK.
Based at the Harwell and Daresbury Science and Innovation Campuses the Centre will focus on the comprehensive exchange of knowledge between research and industry. It's core objective is to maximise the impact of STFC's research programme in detector technology and realise the government's vision of creating premier locations for technology innovation and future large scale scientific facilities at Harwell and Daresbury.
The Detector Systems Centre builds on STFC's world class reputation for microelectronics training and the development and delivery of specialised, high performance detector systems. The Centre will seek to maximise the impact of emerging sensor technologies on a wide range of economically important application areas. These include: energy, lifelong health and wellbeing research, climate research, environment and security.
