Overview

The Advanced Research Centre is a unique facility for the region which is dedicated to the design and discovery of new materials and technologies, and to devising solutions to society’s pressing challenges. We are a team of creative researchers who work together in a collaborative and transdisciplinary environment, applying new ways of thinking to complex questions and innovating novel applications for new technologies. Our centre is comprised of three distinct but complementary divisions: Foundational Science Research, Advanced Materials & Applications and the Collaborative Research User Facility.

Foundational Science Research

Focusing on curiosity-driven research, our mission is to advance the frontiers of science and to produce world-class, high-impact fundamental research. This division pursues a multidisciplinary research agenda based around themes that are at the forefront of modern scientific research.

Collaborative Research User Facility

This is a knowledge-based user facility that connects Jordan’s science, technology, and research communities with expert staff and cutting-edge instrumentation, catalysing scientific discovery in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment. Our facility unites basic and applied science research, testing and analysis, and industrial application. Currently under development, we are accepting requests for instrument time, consultation, or collaboration in the following areas:
