Research and Development
From time to time most organisations need an injection of new thinking. At the University of Lincoln, internationally renowned academics are interested in developing real-world solutions to real-world problems. They will inject new life into your organisation or projects with cutting-edge expertise and research across a range of disciplines.
If you have a challenge, the University of Lincoln can put together a team of experts to work with you to find a solution. We can also include partners from other parts of the regional and national research base if needed. With access to our wide range of research centres and to networks throughout the academic world, we are confident that we can help you find the perfect solution.
We work with a wide range of organisations, from small and medium-sized businesses through to large PLCs, public sector bodies, Government and multinationals.
Bespoke contracts can be devised to cater for issues of commercial sensitivity or intellectual property.

EU Airship Project at School of Engineering: All Systems Go!
Pro Vice Chancellor for Research, Professor Paul Stewart, and Professor of Energy Conversion, Chris Bingham, have been awarded high-profile European funding for a new research project.
The MAAT (Multibody Advanced Airship for Transport) project sees Professors Stewart and Bingham working as part of a global consortium to take forward airship technology, through funding from the Seventh Framework Programme - an EU research-related initiative.
The project is being led by the Universita di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy, and the Lincoln team will focus on ‘Energy and Propulsive Systems’ with Professor Stewart in the role of principal investigator and Professor Bingham as co-investigator.
World’s Biggest Microchip Heralds Better Treatment for Cancer Patients
Scientists at the University of Lincoln have created the world's biggest microchip designed for medical imaging.
The 12.8 cm square chip means that in future doctors will be able to diagnose cancer and see the impact of radiotherapy treatment far more precisely than ever before.
A consortium led by Nigel Allinson, Distinguished Professor of Image Engineering at Lincoln, created DynAMITe, the wafer-scale chip that is 200 times larger than the processing chips that lie at the heart of current PCs and laptops.
The images it produces will show very clearly the impact of radiation on tumours as well as aid the detection in the earliest stages. It is also super-strong, being able to survive many years of exposure to radiation.
