The contributions of the UWS Innovation team was recognised last Friday at the UWS Vice-Chancellor’s Excellence Awards. The team won its nomination in the “Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Innovation” category for the development and implementation of the Equipment Utilisation Program.

The team recently pursued an entrepreneurial initiative that led to the development of an integrated and novel solution for the provision of scientific equipment access to external researchers and industry. Benefits include increased internal usage, market visibility and accessibility, increased scientific collaboration at all levels and the development of important links between UWS and industry.

We encourage you to check out our webpage for more information on the equipment available for use. Please make sure you visit the site regularly for updates on the range of equipment available and information on subsidies and government programs that may assist SMEs with funds to access equipment.
