The staff of the Gas Turbine Research Centre would like to take this opportunity to thank, and acknowledge the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) and ECM2 (Welsh Assembly Government - WAG), QinetiQ and their subcontractors, and their colleagues at Cardiff University, for their co-operation in making this project a success.

Funding

EC Objective 1 Funding

The acquisition and development of GTRC was co-funded initially on the basis of a grant of £350,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government, sourced from the European Commission's Knowledge Exploitation Fund (KEF) to transfer the facility to Port Talbot.  In 2006 a £3,850,000 Objective 1 ERDF grant was secured, again from WEFO.  This grant co-funded the reconstruction and commissioning at ECM2 in Port Talbot.

QinetiQ

The facility originated from QinetiQ (formerly DERA, the UK Government's Defence Evaluation Research Agency), which donated this facility to the project, and undertook the subsequent recommissioning and staff training programme.
