The UK is currently at the forefront of the Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) sector, with almost 200 MW of installed capacity of wave and tidal stream projects, that are either operational, under construction or in development. Furthermore, the first floating offshore wind farm is being built off the coast of Scotland. In order to realise the potential of MRE to achieve the targets set by the Government and keep the UK's leading position; the sector needs to address some relevant technical, environmental and interdisciplinary challenges. A coordinated response from different actors at national and regional level is required in order to successfully face these challenges. In an attempt to provide this coordination and with an initial focus on the South west of the UK, the Partnership for Research In Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE) was established, bringing together research expertise and access to facilities for MRE developments.PRIMaRE comprises the Universities of Plymouth, Exeter, Southampton, Bristol and Bath, along with the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Completing the line-up of PRIMaRE is the South West Marine Energy Park and the Wave Hub facilities, acting as conduits between the research community and industry. More recently, PRIMaRE has extended its borders both nationally and internationally by including the Universities of Uppsala, Cardiff and Cranfield as associated partners of PRIMaRE. The core partner institutions have signed up to a partnership agreement to work together on research across the spectrum of MRE and to establish a 'network of excellence' centred in the South of the UK. PRIMaRE has established the annual conference (now in its third year) to showcase the research and provide a forum for discussion with MRE industry and academia, and have organised industry oriented workshops to identify research priorities in order to align research efforts with the requirements of the MRE sector.With the support of the EPSRC Network Grant, PRIMaRE aims to expand the partnership to a new level, making active and effective contributions to the challenges of the MRE sector. The Network brings together academic effort on MRE challenges, but also given the nascent state of the industry, aims to work closely with supply chain and industry partners, by providing training and a forum for sharing and exchange of ideas and through access to academic expertise and facilities. Unlike the academic focus of doctoral training schemes, the proposed network aspires to a broad sector approach, in which training and research collaborations are promoted both for conventional research and academic staff (i.e., post-docs, researchers, academics, PhD students) and for industry staff (developers, supply chain, test centres, regional government agencies). The proposed network has four main pillars of focus: (i) the annual PRIMaRE conference, expanded to become a key National and International event for the sector; (ii) the Key Challenge Workshops, an industry oriented dynamic and proactive forum to ensure alignment of PRIMaRE research priorities, and to focus on key emerging challenges requiring special attention; (iii) travel grants, which are crucial to ensure knowledge transfer and to promote the required mobility between academia and industry needed to develop new research collaborations nationally and internationally; and (iv) the PRIMaRE summer school, a continuing professional development (CPD) high level programme, providing the mechanism for exchange of knowledge between the research, academia, the novel MRE industry and wider sector.

英国目前处于海洋可再生能源（MRE）领域的最前沿，其中近200兆瓦的波浪和潮汐流项目的装机能力是运营的，正在建设或开发中。此外，在苏格兰海岸上建造了第一个漂浮的海上风电场。为了实现MRE实现政府设定的目标并保持英国领先地位的潜力；该行业需要解决一些相关的技术，环境和跨学科挑战。为了成功面对这些挑战，需要在国家和地区一级的不同参与者的协调反应。 In an attempt to provide this coordination and with an initial focus on the South west of the UK, the Partnership for Research In Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE) was established, bringing together research expertise and access to facilities for MRE developments.PRIMaRE comprises the Universities of Plymouth, Exeter, Southampton, Bristol and Bath, along with the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory.完成Primare的阵容是西南海洋能源公园和Wave Hub设施，在研究社区与工业之间充当管道。最近，Primare通过包括Uppsala，Cardiff和Cranfield的大学作为Primare的相关伙伴，在国内和国际上扩大了国界。核心合作伙伴机构已签署了一项合作伙伴协议，以共同研究MRE范围的研究，并建立以英国南部为中心的“卓越网络”。 PRIMaRE has established the annual conference (now in its third year) to showcase the research and provide a forum for discussion with MRE industry and academia, and have organised industry oriented workshops to identify research priorities in order to align research efforts with the requirements of the MRE sector.With the support of the EPSRC Network Grant, PRIMaRE aims to expand the partnership to a new level, making active and effective contributions to the challenges of the MRE sector.该网络汇集了在MRE挑战方面的学术努力，但也赋予了该行业的新生状态，旨在通过提供培训和论坛来共享和交流思想以及获得学术专业知识和设施，以与供应链和行业合作伙伴紧密合作。与博士培训方案的学术重点不同，拟议的网络渴望采用广泛的部门方法，在这种方法中，培训和研究合作均应促进传统研究和学术人员（即，培训后，研究人员，研究人员，学者，博士生）和行业员工（开发人员，供应链，测试中心，地区政府机构））的培训和研究合作。拟议的网络有四个主要的重点支柱：（i）年度Primare会议扩展，成为该行业的重要国家和国际活动； （ii）主要的挑战研讨会是一个以行业为导向的动态和积极主动的论坛，以确保Primare研究的优先级保持一致，并专注于需要特别关注的关键新兴挑战； （iii）旅行补助金，这对于确保知识转移和促进学术界与行业之间所需的流动性至关重要，以在国内和国际上开展新的研究合作； （iv）Primare Summer School是一项持续的专业发展（CPD）高级计划，为研究，学术界，新型MRE行业和更广泛的领域提供了知识交流的机制。
