¹û¶³Ó°Ôº welcomes the news from the DTI that it is to receive £63,889,111 from the Science Research Investment Fund.
"We are delighted that ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº has received the largest award in the country from the Science Research Investment Fund. This award reflects our position as the leading research institution in the UK and shows a clear commitment from Government to investment in scientific excellence.
