Industry collaboration is essential to scaling breakthrough solutions in green hydrogen and wind energy, making them more affordable, sustainable, and transformative.
Our doctoral training programme uses a cohort-based model that fosters cross-disciplinary teamwork and practical problem-solving. It produces a reliable pipeline of skilled graduates who are equipped to tackle industry challenges and help accelerate clean energy innovation.
We are actively seeking forward-thinking businesses to sponsor students and collaborate on pioneering applied research projects. Invest £80k over 4 years (£20k per year) and gain a dedicated PhD student to tackle your bespoke research project.

Support a Design & Build project
Design & Build is a core part of our training programme, where the entire student cohort undertakes a collaborative engineering project co-created by an industry partner, aligned to your strategic goals.
Supporting a Design & Build allows you to access innovative student ideas, gain recognition for sustainability, explore solutions in a low-risk environment, and build valuable academic and industry connections.
We provide a significant budget, academic and technical expertise and access to specialist facilities for the student cohort to deliver your working prototype.
Cadent, the UK’s largest gas network, proposed our first Design & Build project to tackle the challenge of embrittlement, a key barrier to transitioning the gas grid to hydrogen.
