what STFC does

STFC makes strategic investments to support world leading science and technology for the UK. These investments include large scientific facilities used across the research base. Our vision is to maximise the impact of our knowledge, skills, facilities and resources for the benefit of the United Kingdom and its people. More about STFC...  

STFC e-Science Centre

e-Science is vital to the successful exploitation of powerful next generation scientific facilities, operated by Science and Technology Facilities Council on behalf of the UK research community. Scientific facilities such as synchrotrons, satellites, telescopes and lasers, collectively generate many terabytes of data every day. Their users require efficient access to geographically distributed leading edge data storage, computational and network resources in order to manage and analyse these data in a timely and cost effective way. e-Science builds the infrastructure which delivers this.
