Description

Plymouth Materials Characterisation Network (PMCN) is a ~£1.7M project based within Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre (PEMC) at the University of Plymouth, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The project started in March 2021 and will be running for 2.5 years. This project follows on from the hugely successful Plymouth Materials Characterisation Project (~£1.7M) and Plymouth Electron Microscopy Centre (~£1M) projects, also supported by ERDF in 2011 and 2017 respectively, which have brought more than £500M of investment and revenue into Devon and the surrounding areas alone. This new facility will incorporate three new instruments purchased using funds associated with our ERDF-funded project, Plymouth Materials Characterisation Network.
