About us
The Science and Technology Facilities Council is keeping the UK at the forefront of international science and tackling some of the most significant challenges facing society such as meeting our future energy needs, monitoring and understanding climate change, and global security. The Council has a broad science portfolio and works with the academic and industrial communities to share its expertise in materials science, space and ground-based astronomy technologies, laser science, microelectronics, wafer scale manufacturing, particle and nuclear physics, alternative energy production, radio communications and radar. STFC has 5 main UK sites: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Daresbury Laboratory (DL), UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UKATC), Chilbolton Observatory and Boulby Underground Laboratory. STFC operates or hosts world class experimental facilities including: • In the UK; ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, the Central Laser Facility and RAL Space. STFC is also the majority shareholder in Diamond Light Source Ltd. • Overseas; telescopes on La Palma and Hawaii STFC enables UK researchers to access leading international science facilities by funding membership of international bodies including European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL), European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and the European Southern Observatory (ESO). STFC is one of seven publicly-funded research councils and is part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). It is an independent, non-departmental public body of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

Research Associate (PDRA) in Nuclear Physics Group, Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, UK.
Had a fantastic time at a unique inaugural career fair session of the 22nd STFC Nuclear Physics Summer School in Durham, where Nuclear Physics PhDs from various industries shared insights on non-academic career pathways. I found it especially interesting being a theoretical nuclear physicist. Excellent organization by David Sharp and Rachel Montgomery. #NPSS24

Software expertise powers up quantum computing The Quantum Software Lab (QSL) at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics, joined forces with the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) when it was launched in April 2023. In just over a year, this partnership has opened doors to cutting-edge hardware platforms – enabling to tackle industry-relevant challenges alongside end-users. With a strong focus on innovation, QSL is committed to demonstrating quantum utility – delivering reliable quantum solutions that truly outperform classical computing. Dr Michael Cuthbert, NQCC Director, shares: “Our partnership is all about driving user adoption. The NQCC can provide a front door to the end-user community and raise awareness of the potential of quantum computing, while our colleagues in Edinburgh bring the academic expertise and rigour to translate the mathematics of quantum theory into use cases and applications that benefit all parts of our society and the economy.” Read more about this exciting collaboration! https://lnkd.in/eXfVXfrx UK Research and Innovation EPSRC STFC Quantum Software Lab The University of Edinburgh School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh Peter Knight Michael Cuthbert Elham Kashefi Chris Heunen #quantumcomputing #quantum #quantumcommunity #quantumcollaboration #quantumtechnologies #innovation #computing #research
