UCL Research Equipment Catalogue

A searchable catalogue of UCL's significant research equipment 

The new UCL Research Equipment Catalogue can now be accessed online. The Catalogue is an online searchable database containing information about all UCL’s major research equipment and facilities. Researchers can view information about each equipment item (such as technical specifications and availability) and use an enquiry form to contact the equipment owner. Researchers can also browse by department, facility and manufacturer or use a free-text search.

The Catalogue has been developed by the Office of the UCL Vice-Provost (Research) in response to a requirement from Research Councils UK and new equipment funding guidelines. UCL is using the Kit-Catalogue software developed by Loughborough University to display data about equipment items of purchase value over £25k.

This platform will encourage equipment sharing and collaboration by making visible all our research technologies/capabilities across all faculties at UCL.

Professor David Price, UCL Vice-Provost (Research), commented: “Research Councils now expect universities to identify all available equipment and reuse this where possible, and existing capital equipment must be considered before new items are proposed in RCUK grant applications. The new Catalogue will help to ensure greater utilisation of existing equipment and encourage research collaboration across UCL and beyond.”
