M5 is a group of six (originally five) universities in the Midlands of England. It was formed in August 2012 by the universities of Birmingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham and Warwick in order to boost equipment sharing between member institutions, following the success of the N8 Research Partnership.[1] In December 2012 the group, which had added Aston University, launched its online equipment sharing database.[2] In March 2015, Chancellor George Osborne announced that the M5 universities would lead the £60 million Energy Research Accelerator project.[3]
