Accessing MCN

The streamlined and quick application process involves submission of a short proposal. MCN aims to provide access within one month of application and access may take place in a variety of ways.

Dedicated staff are on hand to provide either services or training and technical support to users where appropriate. Industry access at commercial rates is available for proprietary research. Research collaborations, contract research and development or consulting are also welcomed.

Prior to submitting an application, users are encouraged to discuss their requirements with the Facility Manager to ensure the program design and requirements are a good fit with the equipment available. Scientific merit and feasibility are considered during these initial scoping discussions. Importantly, all publicly funded researchers are treated equally.
