This proposal is for a new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures (CDT-WAMSS) which joins together two successful EPSRC CDTs, their industrial partners and strong track records of training more than 130 researchers to date in offshore renewable energy (ORE). The new CDT will create a comprehensive, world-leading centre covering all aspects of wind and marine renewable energy, both above and below the water. It will produce highly skilled industry-ready engineers with multidisciplinary expertise, deep specialist knowledge and a broad understanding of pertinent whole-energy systems. Our graduates will be future leaders in industry and academia world-wide, driving development of the ORE sector, helping to deliver the Government's carbon reduction targets for 2050 and ensuring that the UK remains at the forefront of this vitally important sector.In order to prepare students for the sector in which they will work, CDT-WAMSS will look to the future and focus on areas that will be relevant from 2023 onwards, which are not necessarily the issues of the past and present. For this reason, the scope of CDT-WAMSS will, in addition to in-stilling a solid understanding of wind and marine energy technologies and engineering, have a particular emphasis on: safety and safe systems, emerging advanced power and control technologies, floating substructures, novel foundation and anchoring systems, materials and structural integrity, remote monitoring and inspection including autonomous intervention, all within a cost competitive and environmentally sensitive context.The proposed new EPSRC CDT in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures will provide an unrivalled Offshore Renewable Energy training environment supporting 70 students over five cohorts on a four-year doctorate, with a critical mass of over 100 academic supervisors of internationally recognised research excellence in ORE. The distinct and flexible cohort approach to training, with professional engineering peer-to-peer learning both within and across cohorts, will provide students with opportunities to benefit from such support throughout their doctorate, not just in the first year. An exceptionally strong industrial participation through funding a large number of studentships and provision of advice and contributions to the training programme will ensure that the training and research is relevant and will have a direct impact on the delivery of the UK's carbon reduction targets, allowing the country to retain its world-leading position in this enormously exciting and important sector.

这项提议是为了建立一个新的EPSRC风能和海洋能源系统和结构博士培训中心（CDT-WAMSS），该中心将两个成功的EPSRC cdt、它们的工业合作伙伴和迄今为止在海上可再生能源（ORE）方面培训了130多名研究人员的良好记录结合在一起。新的CDT将建立一个全面的、世界领先的中心，涵盖风能和海洋可再生能源的各个方面，包括水上和水下。它将培养具有多学科专业知识、深厚的专业知识和对相关全能源系统的广泛理解的高技能行业工程师。我们的毕业生将成为全球工业界和学术界未来的领导者，推动矿产资源部门的发展，帮助实现政府2050年的碳减排目标，并确保英国在这一至关重要的部门保持领先地位。为了让学生为他们将要从事的行业做好准备，CDT-WAMSS将着眼于未来，并将重点放在从2023年开始相关的领域，这些领域不一定是过去和现在的问题。因此，CDT-WAMSS的范围除了将深入了解风能和海洋能源技术和工程外，还将特别强调：安全和安全系统，新兴的先进动力和控制技术，浮动子结构，新型基础和锚固系统，材料和结构完整性，远程监测和检查，包括自主干预，所有这些都在具有成本竞争力和环境敏感性的背景下进行。拟议中的新EPSRC风能和海洋能源系统与结构CDT将提供无与伦比的海上可再生能源培训环境，支持五组70名学生攻读四年制博士学位，拥有100多名国际公认的ORE卓越研究学术导师。独特而灵活的队列培训方法，在队列内部和跨队列的专业工程对等学习。将为学生提供在整个博士学位期间受益于这种支持的机会，而不仅仅是第一年。通过资助大量的学生，提供建议和对培训计划的贡献，一个异常强大的工业参与将确保培训和研究是相关的，并将对英国的碳减排目标的交付产生直接影响，使该国在这个非常令人兴奋和重要的领域保持其世界领先地位。
