Get involved

Tell us what would help

We’re talking to companies and research groups now to understand what would be genuinely useful, and to build the case for further funding.

Book a 30-minute chat

A relaxed Zoom call to tell us about your work and what would help. No pitch and no pressure. Calls are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:30–15:00 UK time.

Pick a time

Write a letter of support

A short letter from your organisation, only if it feels right to you, helps the case for further funding. We have a short form that takes a few minutes; the letter is a statement of support, not a binding commitment.

Ask for the form

Tell us what you’d use it for

Your likely projects, the processes you need and roughly how often. It helps the team understand what would be most useful and build the case for further funding.

Share your needs

Interested in a trial project?

Have a specific device or process in mind? Tell us about it and we can talk through whether a paid trial could fit once access arrangements are confirmed.

Hosting equipment on site

For some organisations, hosting their own equipment in a shared ultra-clean environment may be an option. If that interests you, let’s discuss it.
