Collection from the GEF

Borrowers may collect and return equipment in person from the GEF offices (in Edinburgh and Leicester).

Shipping outside the UK

The GEF(Edinburgh) only ships to destinations within the UK. It is the borrowers responsibility to arrange transportation and all necessary customs paperwork for any temporary export and re-importation to the UK. You may arrange your own courier to collect equipment from our offices.

User training

New users of our GNSS equipment are required to be trained by Facility staff. Training usually takes place during a one day visit to the GEF offices. Previous users are encouraged to attend for refresher training.

Successful applicants will be invited to contact the Facility to arrange a suitable training date, usually close to the start of the project.

Training is free of charge, however applicants will be responsible for making their own way to the Facility.
