Who we are

Mimas is an organisation of experts. Our role is to support the advancement of knowledge, powering world-class research and teaching.

As a national data centre based at The University of Manchester, we host a significant number of the UK’s research information assets – and build applications to help people make the most of this rich resource.

We have a longstanding relationship with JISC, developing services that support teaching, learning and research, and strong connections with research councils, especially the ESRC.
