Funding

We are fortunate to enjoy substantial support for our research from a diversity of financial backers and funding agencies. The most up-to-date list can be found below (the figures only show funds disbursed by funders into the University of Kent). Additionally, we receive very substantial in-kind contributions from central facilities through the award of beam-time and generous local support from our university (not shown).
