Non-Queen’s researchers
We have traditionally had a much higher charge for non-Queen's researchers for the simple fact that Queen's University provides a substantial subsidy to support the station. This year (2016) we are trying lower facility rates for non-Queen's users to reward the loyalty of long-term users and encourage new users. At the end of the year we will re-evaluate this decision.
