 " I am delighted that the Cockcroft Institute has had its core grant renewed up to 2017 and that it is able to continue and grow its world class program of research and development.

The industrial exploitation of this scientific and technological excellence is also an integral aspect of the work of the Institute which is becoming a more important issue at a time when the impact of publicly funded fundamental research is coming under much greater scrutiny.

I very much hope that the recently established Industrial Advisory Committee, which I have the privilege to chair, can make a contribution to this process of knowledge transfer and exchange. We hope to help the Institute grow its impact in key areas of economic and social challenge including Energy, Health, and Security, and build further collaborations with leading companies both in the UK and overseas " 

Prof. Peter Saraga, Chair of the CI Industrial Advisory Committee (Past President of IoP and VP for Reserach, Phillips International).

"Congratulations on the renewal of the grant participation for the future of Cockcroft.

All the best for a growing future collaboration."

Dr. Gerd Materlik, Chief Executive of Diamond Light Source, UK.

 " ----------Accelerators play an increasingly important role in many areas of science and applications and the Cockcroft Institute together with its partners like CERN is ideally placed to play an essential role in accelerator science and education. " 

Prof. Rolf Heuer, the Director-General of CERN.

My warmest congratulation with receiving of the STFC award for Cockcroft Institute! I share your belief that the award will enable further exciting opportunities for growth. I am also delighted and looking forward for working synergistically with you to further strengthen the role of accelerator science in UK!

Dr. Andrei Seryi, the Director-designate of the John Adams Institute, UK.

“The success of the Cockcroft Institute model has proved that three otherwise fiercely independent and competitive universities can work together productively with a Research Council and other partners to produce world class science.”

Prof. Jon Saunders, Deputy Vice Chancellor of University of Liverpool.

NWDA has been delighted to support the Cockcroft Institute-it has demonstrated that the Northwest can match anywhere 
in the world in scientific excellence . Warmest congratulations.

George Baxter, Director of Science and Innovation, NWDA.
