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，波浪和潮流项目的装机容量近200兆瓦，这些项目正在运营、建设或开发中。此外，第一个浮动海上风电场正在苏格兰海岸建造。为了发挥地雷危险教育的潜力，实现政府设定的目标，保持联合王国的领先地位，该部门需要应对一些相关的技术、环境和跨学科挑战。为了成功地应对这些挑战，需要国家和区域一级不同行为者作出协调一致的反应。为了提供这种协调，并以联合王国西南部为最初重点，建立了海洋可再生能源研究伙伴关系，汇集了研究专门知识和获得地雷危险教育发展设施的机会，该伙伴关系由普利茅斯大学、埃克塞特大学、南安普顿大学、布里斯托大学和巴斯大学沿着海洋生物协会和普利茅斯海洋实验室组成。完成PRIMARE的阵容是西南海洋能源公园和波浪枢纽设施，作为研究界和工业之间的管道。最近，通过将乌普萨拉大学、卡迪夫大学和克兰菲尔德大学作为PRIMARE的合作伙伴，PRIMARE在国内和国际上扩大了其边界。核心伙伴机构签署了一项伙伴关系协议，共同开展地雷危险教育领域的研究，并建立一个以英国南部为中心的“卓越网络”。PRIMARE成立了年度会议（现已进入第三年），展示研究成果，并为地雷危险教育行业和学术界提供一个讨论论坛，并组织面向行业的研讨会，以确定研究重点，使研究工作与地雷危险教育行业的要求保持一致。在EPSRC网络赠款的支持下，PRIMARE旨在将伙伴关系扩大到一个新的水平，积极有效地应对地雷危险教育部门的挑战。该网络汇集了关于地雷危险教育挑战的学术努力，但也考虑到该行业的新生状态，旨在通过提供培训和分享和交流想法的论坛，并通过获得学术专业知识和设施，与供应链和行业合作伙伴密切合作。与博士培训计划的学术重点不同，拟议的网络渴望采取广泛的部门方法，其中促进传统研究和学术人员的培训和研究合作（即，博士后，研究人员，学者，博士生）和行业工作人员（开发人员，供应链，测试中心，区域政府机构）。拟议的网络有四个主要重点支柱：（一）年度PRIMARE会议，扩大成为该部门的一个重要的国家和国际活动;（二）关键挑战研讨会，一个面向行业的动态和积极主动的论坛，以确保PRIMARE研究优先事项的一致性，并侧重于需要特别关注的关键新挑战; ㈢旅费赠款，这对于确保知识转让和促进学术界与工业界之间必要的流动性至关重要，而这种流动性是在国内和国际上开展新的研究合作所必需的;以及（iv）PRIMARE暑期学校，这是一个持续专业发展（CPD）的高水平计划，为研究、学术界、新的地雷危险教育行业和更广泛的部门之间的知识交流提供了机制。
