Provide us with your project goals and requirements, and our staff will put together a tailored registration and training program to ensure that you can make the most of our facilities.
After we receive your project enquiry, our staff will work with you to put together a viable project design, taking into account factors such as experimental scope, instrument requirements, and budget.
We will assist you in registering your project in our Access System, and will guide you through any ethical approvals necessary.
We will organise a bespoke training program specific to your needs, giving you autonomous access to our facilities to complete your project (see Hybrid Theatre exception).
