Cockcroft Institute

The Cockcroft Institute - a collaboration between academia, national laboratories, industry and local economy - brings together the best accelerator scientists, engineers, educators and industrialists to conceive, design, construct and use innovative instruments of discovery at all scales and lead the UK’s participation in flagship international experiments. It cultures the curiosity of emerging minds via education of the future generation and engages with industrial partners to generate wealth for the community that sustains us. I am honoured to be its Inaugural Director, following in the footsteps of and proudly reinforcing the original vision of its Founding Director, Prof. John Dainton.
