Several University of Sheffield departments, alongside the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), AMRC Training Centre and Nuclear AMRC, form a worldleading cluster for research, innovation and training. But what kinds of research and innovation are they producing? This report produced by Sheffield Campus Coalition for Palestine (SCCP) finds that the AMRC and its associates are leading fundamental research on manufacturing processes, materials and technologies explicitly for the arms industry. Between 2012 and 2022, the University received £72 million in direct funding from arms manufacturers, more than any other UK institution. Currently, the University is conducting research costing tens, if not hundreds, of millions of pounds that is connected with arms manufacturers and/or perpetrators of apartheid in Gaza.
