3451/JN - Elastomer Capability Test Rig***CANCELLED***

Notice Description

***CANCELLED***With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund and BEIS, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and The Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre (SAF- IC) as an integrated multi-technology pilot-scale research facility for low-carbon energy technologies.
