Equipment Exchange

VALIDATE is helping to coordinate equipment transfers between our members, with the aim of connecting researchers who have surplus equipment they want to get rid of with members who would be able to use the equipment in their lab or clinic. In some circumstances VALIDATE can offer some help towards the costs of shipment to the recipient. Priority will be given to researchers based in LMICs to receive equipment.

If you or your research group have any spare equipment that you would be willing to pass on then please let us know at validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk - we will then email our members and help to set up a suitable exchange.
