Objectives |
linked to EPSRC Grant EP/J500847/1 (ETI 5.1M. EPSRC 1.5M) An Industrial Doctorate Centre in renewable energy technologies, funded by the ETI and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), will take its first intake of students in January 2012. The Centre will train up to 50 students in the research and skills needed to accelerate the development of renewable energy technologies. Each will spend part of their training with the three universities in the consortium. The students will spend most of their training time in ETI Member companies, as part of the ETIs major project delivery teams, as well as in other renewable industry organisations. The students will each gain an internationally-leading engineering doctorate. The drive to meet the UKs ambitious deployment targets for offshore renewable energy technologies requires a steady supply of highly trained engineers, scientists and leaders. We anticipate that this new Industrial Doctorate Centre will contribute significantly to that requirement. |
Abstract |
The Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) trains research engineers whose work in conjunction with sponsoring companies aims to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind, wave and tidal-current technologies. This is to help meet the UK’s ambitious renewable energy targets. Students undertake a four year full time course including time with a sponsoring company working on “real world” applications and research initiatives to obtain their doctorates. The centre is funded by the ETI and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Academic partners / research facilities: - University of Edinburgh
