Press office and media enquiries

We help connect media outlets, journalists, and content creators to connect with the world changing science of Diamond Light Source, and provide media support and training to our scientists.

The UK’s synchrotron is an impressive and unique building. We welcome filming enquiries and can offer varying levels of access to the facility.

For journalists

The Press Office is glad to support journalists filming on site. For news stories, we provide scientists for interview, as well as access to the experimental areas and the facility as a whole. We are also able to accommodate requests for tours of the facility from journalists who would like to know more about Diamond in general.

Diamond scientists are also available to act as commentators on wider science issues including:
