Mid-Essex electronics firm E2v technologies has set up a new research facility at Brunel University.
The E2v Centre for Electronic Imaging will be used for research and development of advanced technologies from the university's Uxbridge campus.
It will find new uses for the Chelmsford firm's existing imaging technology and develop imaging products for its specialist markets.
Trevor Cross, E2v's technical director, said: "The centre will facilitate collaborative research opportunties and create a focused environment for specialist staff to carry out leading-edge research, and to seek to develop new, innovative technology solutions."
The company is investing £500,000 in the centre over next five years and believes the move builds links it already has with the university. Brunel University is providing facilities and equipment.
Professor Andrew Holland, the centre's sponsored chairman, said: "This new project is most exciting and it marries together Brunel's excellent academic connections with E2v's broad experience in the market place."
