They are developing new technology for providing humanitarian shelters for refugee scenarios and international disasters where rapid deployment is critical. \u2018Durability, weight and cost are all key to the success of our framing technology and, thanks to the CTH, we have been through 16 variants of our prototype in very quick succession,\u2019 Garfit said. &#8216;Over a six-month period, we have been able to move from concept stage to a position where we are now ready to start field trials, a timescale we certainly could not have achieved without the assistance of CTH.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Science and Technology Facilities Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The STFC are a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation, and their goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people \u2013 and more broadly to the world.
