University-Managed Shared Resources
The Core Research Facilities and Services at the University of New England were established by the Office of Research and Scholarship to provide the University community and other scientific institutions with access to state-of-the-art equipment and training.
The purpose of the Cores is to make technology and expertise available to all students, faculty, professional staff, and external researchers. Our highly-trained facility managers help expedite the research process in a variety of ways.
The core facilities are categorized into centralized labs organized by areas of technology and scientific study. UNE currently hosts the following core facilities:
These are facilities at the University that are open for use and collaboration:
