DLSITT1105 - New Diamond Website

Key Details

Description

Located on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, Diamond Light Source (DLS) is a leading-edge facility for science, engineering and innovation. DLS allows researchers from academia and industry to investigate the structure and behaviour of the world around us at the atomic and molecular level. To continue delivering the world-changing science that Diamond enables, the facility is being upgraded to Diamond-II, a co-ordinated programme of development that combines a major machine upgrade with new instruments and complementary improvements to optics, detectors, sample environment and delivery capabilities, and computing, as well as integrated and correlative methods. Our current corporate website, https://www.diamond.ac.uk/, is a critical channel for: • Communicating scientific capability and impact and promoting science to broader audiences • Supporting user-centric operations, including access to beamlines and facilities • Engaging industry partners and collaborators, and generating leads for the Industrial Liaison Office • Supporting recruitment into key roles, attracting the best candidates The site was launched nearly 15 years ago and, whilst the CMS (Magnolia-CMS) has received regular technical upgrades and is up to date with the latest security and functionality features, it has become a sprawling information repository for everything Diamond does. Our vision is to develop a new corporate website from the ground up, with new, more concise and more strategically targeted content. The new website will primarily focus on four strategic communications objectives, as outlined in the Diamond Communications and Engagement Strategy: • Supporting user-centric operations. • Generating leads for the Industrial Liaison Office. • Supporting recruitment. • Increasing the awareness and positive perception of Diamond as a world-class hub for cutting-edge research and innovation.
