    Dear All,<br>
    <br>
    Please see below - EPSRC asking for input on a bid to EPSRC for
    capital infrastructure, to lead to a competitive process.<br>
    Could you send input to me via the attached questionnaire - please
    do not send anything direct to the steering group.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>

            EPSRC funding portfolio, which would coordinate the project

            formed of representatives from the following Universities:

            the survey as direct as possible, but given the nature of
