United Kingdom Centre for Marine Energy Research

英国海洋能源研究中心（UKCMER）是英国研究委员会旗舰超级发电海洋计划的第三阶段。UKCMER的目标是：1。开展世界级的基础和应用研究，帮助英国海洋能源部门可靠和可靠地加快部署速度，并确保发电能力的持续增长，以实现2020年的目标。扩大并更有效地运作学术研究人员、行业合作伙伴和国际合作者的包容性网络;该中心将通过三项紧密结合的活动来实现这些目标：首先，运营一个卓越的网络，将英国学术界、工业界和更广泛的国际社会的海洋能源研究人员和开发人员聚集在一起;第二，开展有针对性的行业驱动基础研究计划，以解决影响推动实现到2020年安装2GW发电容量的雄心勃勃的部署目标的问题;最后，提供培训方案，以发展下一代和当代海洋能源专业人员的知识和理解。这项为期五年的研究计划将由海洋能源行业通过正式成立的研究咨询论坛提供指导，以确保它继续满足该部门的需求。根据这一建议，正在组织一系列专题研讨会，以塑造未来的研究计划，并建立能够从技术战略委员会（TSB），能源技术研究所（ETI）和欧盟委员会（EC）等其他组织寻求资金的研究人员和开发人员团队。中心的研究成果以及项目和技术开发人员的最新情况将在每年11月举行的年度大会上介绍。每两年一次，为期一周的住宿短期课程，这是博士培训计划的一部分，是开放给来自行业的参与者以及博士和EngD学生，并提供持续专业发展（CPD）学分。除了EPSRC资助的博士生作为该项目的一部分外，该中心还与KTP管理中心合作，通过与行业的知识转移伙伴关系资助更多的EngD学生。

The UK Centre for Marine Energy Research (UKCMER) is being funded as the third phase of Research Councils UK's flagship SuperGen marine programme. UKCMER aims to:1. conduct world-class fundamental and applied research that assists the marine energy sector in the UK to reliably and dependably accelerate deployment rates and ensure sustained growth in generating capacity to meet the 2020 targets,2. expand and more effectively operate an inclusive network of academic researchers, industry partners and international collaborators, and3. continue to provide the highest quality of doctoral training and knowledge transfer in partnership with industry to build intellectual and human capacity for the marine energy sector.The Centre will achieve these aims through three closely integrated activities: Firstly the operation of a network of excellence which draws together marine energy researchers and developers from UK academia, industry, and the wider international community; Secondly, undertaking a focussed and directed programme of industry driven fundamental research to address issues affecting the push to meet the ambitious deployment target of installing 2GW of generating capacity by 2020; and, finally, the provision of a training programme to develop the knowledge and understanding of both the next next and present generations of marine energy professionals. The five year research programme will be guided by the marine energy industry, through a formally constituted Research Advisory Forum, to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the sector. Based on this advice, a series of thematic workshops is being organised to shape future research programmes and build teams of researchers and developers who are able to seek funding from other organisations, such as the technology strategy board (TSB), energy technologies institute (ETI), and European Commission (EC). The research output from the Centre and updates from project and technology developers will be presented at the Annual Assembly, held in November each year. The bi-annual, week long, residential short courses, which form part of the doctoral training programme, are open to participants from industry as well as PhD and EngD students and offer continuing professional development (CPD) credits. In addition to the PhD students funded by EPSRC as part of this project, the Centre is engaging with the KTP management centres to fund additional EngD studentships through knowledge transfer partnership with industry.
