The Cavendish Laboratory
 

Welcome

We are a point of contact for companies and organisations interested in possible collaborations and joint projects with the Cavendish Laboratory. We also support Laboratory members with the development of collaborative research proposals, finding funding and coordinating ongoing projects.

Team

The Cavendish Knowledge Exchange activity is at the moment not staffed. If you require support in this area, please enquire with the Departmental Administrator.
Industrial interactions and collaborations with the Physical Sciences and Technology at Cambridge are also supported by the Maxwell Centre (www.maxwell.cam.ac.uk).
