The Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC or CLRC) is a UK government body that carries out civil research in science and engineering.
It employs about 1700 staff at three locations:
Chilbolton Observatory, near Stockbridge in Hampshire
The Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils CCLRC is the UK's strategic agency for large scale neutron, muon, synchrotron and high power laser facilities and advisor to the government and the other research councils on facility provision.
CCLRC’s users are drawn from the academic and industrial research communities in a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, environmental science and information technology.
Other CCLRC services and resources are also of strategic importance for all kinds of research, from particle physics to new materials and from astronomy to renewable energy.
CCLRC has specialist technical facilities and infrastructure that lend themselves to a unique role in training, particularly at the technical and the postgraduate levels, and is already active in CASE and other studentship schemes in collaboration with universities.
CCLRC will also be considering where it can respond to the recent Lambert[8] and Innovation[9] Reviews, again in collaboration with universities and industry, to their mutual benefit, and to the benefit of the UK economy.
CCLRC should take on the role of positioning the UK so as to be able to contribute to and benefit from close engagement with the new approaches to large facilities being adopted in other European countries and beyond.
