The IDCORE Industrial CDT for Offshore Renewable Energy is a collaborative initiative involving the Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Exeter, and the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
This four-year engineering doctorate program offers research and training at PhD level, with a stronger emphasis on industry-oriented projects compared to traditional PhDs.
The program emphasizes rigorous engineering, scientific, and cross-disciplinary education to support the development of sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable energy solutions that drive economic progress while lowering carbon footprints
The initiative delivers research excellence across diverse interconnected disciplines spanning ocean resources to end-use applications, covering: resource assessment, offshore energy technologies, data science, materials science, marine environments, deployment strategies, autonomous systems, bioenergy, storage solutions, alternative energy carriers, policy frameworks, socio-economic effects, and public energy awareness
Comprehensive training covers the entire research spectrum, blending academic and industrial perspectives to bridge theory and application, while incorporating responsible innovation, engineering ethics, data handling, business development, entrepreneurial skills, leadership training, and community outreach
