We welcome enquiries about how we can work with you. Please contact us to discuss your requirements - contact details can be found at the bottom of this page. Read our industry case studies Services and Facilities Use The School of Chemistry benefits from its substantial critical mass in possessing a very wide range of world class facilities for research as well as analytical and technical services. Many facilities can be used by external parties, or work can be undertaken on a service basis. Our facilities and capabilities cover characterisation, physical measurements and synthesis. Browse our facilities brochure to find out more about key facilities. Link: School of Chemistry facilities brochure Please contact Cameron Chalmers to learn more about services and facilities use. Cameron Chalmers 07386 659384 Cameron.Chalmers@ei.ed.ac.uk Consultancy The expertise of our world-class researchers across all aspects of chemical science is available to clients through our consultancy services. We can also call on wider expertise available across the University of Edinburgh to provide effective solutions to client problems. We collaborate with organisations from SMEs to multinationals through a range of consultancy services, including: Contract research Expert advice or opinion Bespoke training Services and facilities access Consultancy can provide essential targeted input to answer questions across e.g. technology assessment, materials testing, feasibility studies, product development and improvement, process verification. All official consultancies (external and internal) are undertaken through the University of Edinburgh's commercial liaison company, Edinburgh Innovations (EI). Please contact Cameron Chalmers to learn more about consultancy options. Cameron Chalmers 07386 659384 Cameron.Chalmers@ei.ed.ac.uk Research Partnerships Work with us to solve problems affecting your industry and generate new opportunities.
