The Advanced Composites Centre for Innovation and Science (ACCIS) brings together activities within the University research theme of advanced composites and intelligent structures, linking Engineering to the Science and Medical Faculties.
ACCIS is at the heart of composites research regionally, nationally and internationally. A number of strategic partnerships have been set up with industry and government funding agencies to develop and exploit this research.
The Centre provides first rate experimental facilities in which ideas and novel concepts can be developed, tested and proven. Facilities include:
Within the Engineering Faculty there has recently been a major investment in new, state of the art laboratories to form the £18million Bristol Laboratories for Advanced Dynamic Engineering (BLADE). ACCIS makes use of this world class infrastructure to house composites-specific equipment and additionally has access to the broader range of laboratory equipment as and when required.
