University & Joint Research

Staff at CIP have successfully worked for many years alongside Universities, research institutes and companies in a variety of consortia across Europe. CIP is now continuing this by offering itself as either a full partner on focused research or a prototyping sub-contractor.

As an example of how CIP has worked successfully with four UK universities, CIP recently prototyped a range of optoelectronic components under the “PRINCE” project, funded by the UK Engineering Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC). These included:

• Planar silica waveguides
• Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
• Electroabsorption modulators
• Nanostructures
• Microfluidic structures

As the technology partner for this consortium of UK universities, CIP has been able to provide state-of-the art components to advance university research.

The value that CIP offers University partners is to make research components efficiently, on time and to specification. The Centre offers a proven, highly cost-effective design and fabrication service. More than this, CIP’s researchers work with their University counterparts to develop innovative research proposals for funding submission.

EPSRC fully supports the work of CIP as an asset to University research, and has agreed to support access to CIP by University academic departments by funding full economic costs on research grants.

Please contact CIP if you are developing a UK EPSRC proposal requiring photonic devices, planar silica components, optical coatings, microfluidics, custom device fabrication, or advanced system test facilities, - we will be able to help you.
