The Henry Royce Institute at Cranfield University welcomes collaboration that strengthens the UK's research and innovation landscape. We look forward to exploring how we can work together with King's College London to create material solutions to benefit society, the UK economy and solve global challenges.

In the meantime, we remain focused on delivering leading capability and expertise in materials performance assessment, and coatings design and manufacture for extreme environments.

Royce at Cranfield support the research area of Materials Systems for Demanding Environments, and through Royce Access Schemes and Industrial Collaboration Projects, widen access to our state-of-the art facilities and world-leading expertise. We act as a catalyst for industrial collaboration and accelerated translation, and foster materials science skills development in coatings and testing for extreme environments.
