Champion - Industrial Decarbonisation Research & Innovation Centre (IDRIC)

通过气候变化委员会关于到2050年实现净零排放的建议，表明了面对气候紧急情况要发挥领导作用的明确承诺。要实现这一目标，使工业部门脱碳是一项重大挑战。然而，目前，脱碳解决方案在经济上没有竞争力。这对英国的国际竞争力至关重要，因为这是由实施世界领先的创新来支撑的，因此，确保研究和创新社区共同努力，及时实现工业实施。该项目的重点是让学术界、工业界、政策制定者和其他利益相关者参与，为工业脱碳研究与创新中心（IDRIC）建立一个跨学科联盟和后续提案。我将促进研究人员之间的合作，促进共同创造新的跨学科研究和创新项目。本文提出的变革性创新将用于解决复杂的社会和环境挑战，并有助于向新的社会技术系统的低成本过渡。中心的议程最初将通过协商以及网络分析、绘图和市场分析来确定。协作事件和虚拟环境将促进跨领域挑战的共同创造。我将把电子数据交换原则纳入中心参与策略的设计。

Adopting the Committee on Climate Change's recommendation to net zero emissions by 2050 demonstrates a clear commitment to leadership in the face of climate emergency. If this is to be achieved, decarbonising the industrial sector represents a critical challenge. However, at present, decarbonisation solutions are not economically competitive. It is critical to the UK's international competitiveness that this is underpinned by implementation of world-leading innovation, and therefore, ensuring research and innovation communities work together for timely industrial implementation.This project focuses on engaging academia, industry, policymakers and other stakeholders to develop an interdisciplinary consortium and subsequent proposal for the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC). I will facilitate collaboration between researchers to foster co-creation of new interdisciplinary research and innovation programmes. The transformative innovation proposed here will be developed to address head on complex social and environmental challenges and contribute to low-cost transitions to new socio-technical systems.The Centre's agenda will be shaped initially by consultations, as well as network analysis, mapping and market analysis. Collaborative events and virtual environments will develop the co-creation of the cross-cutting challenges. I will embed EDI principles in the design of the Centre's engagement strategy.
