University of Oxford Scientific Research Facilities Conference

Thursday 26th and Friday 27th September 2024
Medical Sciences Teaching Centre, S Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3PL

We are delighted to announce the first University of Oxford Scientific Research Facilities Conference.

Technician Champion Michalina Mazurczyk welcomes you to the University of Oxford’s first SRF Conference. As part of the Technician Commitment Initiative, 40 Scientific Research Facilities (SRF) leads from across divisions and departments will give presentations on the facilities they manage.

Researchers across Oxford University and the private sector are invited for this unique opportunity to see a wide review of the expertise, capabilities, equipment and services that these facilities hold.
