ABOUT US

The Henry Royce Institute, known as Royce, is the UK's national institute for advanced materials research and innovation. Royce at the University of Cambridge, known as Royce at Cambridge, is one of Royce’s nine Partners, funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), which is part of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI).  

Based at the Maxwell Centre at the West Cambridge Campus, Royce at Cambridge is the centrepiece for industrial engagement with the scientists working across materials sciences. 

Royce supports research and innovation through an inter-departmental network of open-access deposition, fabrication and characterisation facilities. Our focus is on supporting the development of materials for energy efficient devices of the future, as part of the Royce AtomsToDevices research theme. To support this work, Royce at Cambridge hosts a national technology platform; the Physical Vapour Deposition and Characterisation Facility. We also support research of 2D Materials,Biomaterials and Bioelectronics and Advanced Metals Processing.
