The Departments of Chemistry (Chem) and Chemical Engineering (Chem Eng) at the University of Bath propose a Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. The 6.9m requested from the EPSRC will be supplemented by 6.0m from the University and a 3.0m industrial contribution to fund a DTC operating at the interface of Chem and Chem Eng. The DTC will place fundamental concepts of sustainability at the core of a broad spectrum of research and training in applied chemical sciences. A dynamic, multidisciplinary research and training environment (the combined current EPSRC portfolio for the two departments is 19.9m) will underpin transformative research and training in Sustainable Chemical Technologies. This will respond to a national and global need for highly skilled and talented scientists and engineers in the area. All students will receive foundation training to supplement their undergraduate knowledge, as well as training in Sustainable Chemical Technologies and transferable skills. They will all conduct high quality and challenging research within the Sustainable Chemical Technologies theme directed by joint Chem and Chem Eng supervisors. The broad research themes encompass the areas of; Renewable Resources, Clean Energy, Clean Processes, Pharmaceuticals and Wellbeing, and Life Cycle Impact Reduction. Participation from key industry partners will address stakeholder needs, and partner institutions in the USA and Germany will provide world-leading international input, along with exciting opportunities for student placements. Detailed management plans have been developed in order to facilitate the smooth running of the centre and to enable excellence in the training and research aspects of the proposal. The Doctoral Training Centre will be supported by the creation of physical and virtual laboratories for the students.This 16m initiative has attracted strong and influential support: I strongly support the objectives you describe...the center is the right idea at the right time. Good luck! (Prof. George Whitesides, Harvard); The proposed initiative...should enable significant impacts to be made in this vital area. (joint letter signed by six Chief Executives of key stakeholders, including David Brown, IChemE and Richard Pike, RSC).

巴斯大学化学系（Chem）和化学工程系（Chem Eng）提议建立可持续化学技术博士培训中心（DTC）。EPSRC要求的690万英镑将由大学的600万英镑和300万英镑的工业捐款补充，以资助在化学和化学工程接口运行的DTC。DTC将把可持续性的基本概念置于应用化学科学广泛研究和培训的核心。一个充满活力的、多学科的研究和培训环境（目前EPSRC对两个部门的投资组合为1990万）将支持可持续化学技术的变革性研究和培训。这将满足国家和全球对该领域高技能和有才华的科学家和工程师的需求。所有学生都将接受基础培训，以补充他们的本科知识，以及可持续化学技术和可转移技能的培训。他们将在联合化学和化学工程主管指导的可持续化学技术主题下进行高质量和具有挑战性的研究。广泛的研究主题包括以下领域；可再生资源，清洁能源，清洁工艺，药品和健康，以及生命周期影响减少。主要行业合作伙伴的参与将满足利益相关者的需求，美国和德国的合作机构将提供世界领先的国际投入，以及令人兴奋的学生实习机会。我们已制订详细的管理计划，以促进中心的顺利运作，并在建议的培训和研究方面做到卓越。博士培训中心将通过为学生创建物理和虚拟实验室来支持。这项1600万美元的倡议吸引了强有力的、有影响力的支持：我强烈支持你所描述的目标……中心是在正确的时间出现的正确的想法。好运！（哈佛大学George Whitesides教授）；提议的倡议……应能对这一重要领域产生重大影响。（由六位主要利益相关者的首席执行官签署的联名信，包括大卫·布朗，IChemE和理查德·派克，RSC）。
