Research centres
Equipped with outstanding facilities, our school fuels ground-breaking research not just for ourselves, but also with external organisations.
Integrated Civil Infrastructure Research Centre (iCAIR)
The Integrated Civil Infrastructure Research Centre (iCAIR) takes Sheffield’s expertise in advanced manufacturing and applies it to national civil engineering and infrastructure challenges.
Researchers are looking at how big data, advanced materials and robotics can be used to increase innovation in the sector.
Laboratory for Verification and Validation (LVV)
The Laboratory for Verification and Validation (LVV) capitalises on the University's expertise for testing large engineering structures under real life vibration conditions.
They aim to make radical improvement in product design, operation and lifetime for engineering structures by testing them under real-life conditions.
The Energy Innovation Centre (EIC)
The Energy Innovation Centre is a world-leading research, development and demonstration hub pioneering innovative technologies to deliver sustainable, secure energy and tackle climate change.
The EIC was launched with the strategic merger of two renowned research centres at the University of Sheffield: the Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Innovation Centre (SAF-IC).
