As the global population continues to increase from 7.5bn (2019) to 9.5bn (2050) coupled with increased urbanisation and industrialisation we will need to better (re)utilise resources to sustain our chemical, material and energy needs. In 2015, the United Nations recognised these concerns and established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to protect the future of our planet and its inhabitants. In particular, SDG 12, "Sustainable Consumption and Production", focuses on better resource utilisation, resource recovery, doing 'more with less' and moving from linear to circular economies, which is recognised as strategically important by the UK government and industries. For example, the UK Chemistry Council's Chemicals sector Strategy (http://tiny.cc/mru3fz) highlights a greater emphasis on sourcing of renewable raw materials, ensuring products are free from pollutants and innovating to reduce their carbon footprint. The UK Industrial Strategy and DEFRA 25 Year Environment Plan both highlight circular, green economies and developing leadership. Recent Science Innovation Audits (Northern Powerhouse: Chemical and Process Sector Science http://tiny.cc/tsu3fz, and the Bioeconomy in the North of England http://tiny.cc/jwu3fz) highlight the importance of our chemicals and bioeconomy sectors, interconnectivity of chemistry and biology, the importance of training, re- and up-skilling, and continual professional development in physical and biological sciences. The chemicals sector is one of the largest UK manufacturing sectors with a turnover of £48.7bn and employs ca. 140,000 people and increasingly becoming more interdisciplinary. To be globally competitive, UK businesses will need to transform current manufacturing practices, which are often linear and resource-depleting, to those that are circular, resource efficient, and sustainable via re- and up-skilling its current workforce so as to accelerate impact. In partnership with industry, this project will develop and embed: 1. A highly re- and up-skilled cohort of research scientists with excellence and leadership in circular, resource efficient, sustainable manufacturing impacting current and future knowledge-driven business decisions in chemical- and allied-industries, thus, improving global sustainability. 2. Person specific doctoral learning contracts (PSDLC) designed to suit the needs of the individual, employer and academic supervisor. Often, a lack of clear understanding of expectations has been both a downfall and barrier for successful industrial PhDs in the past. Projects will be industrially-driven via our project partners, thereby accelerating innovation and boosting economic growth. 3. Support mechanisms that encourage peer learning and reflection via regular cohort meetings to discuss issues specific to the industrial students and identify areas for improvement. Similarly, a two-way buddy scheme (academic student/industrial student) will be implemented, allowing both to benefit from the other's experience. 4. New (and extended current), flexible, credit-bearing in-house and virtual CPD modules to reflect specific needs. For example, training modules in change management, business strategy and responsible research innovation will be developed and delivered. 5. Mechanisms that reward prior experiential learning so as to fast track doctoral training will be investigated and incorporated in bespoke PhD programmes. 6. Proactive stakeholder working groups comprising project partners (industry and professional bodies), who will meet quarterly for the first two years to continue to de-risk barriers, innovate and disseminate the benefits of this programme both internally and externally to their organisation. 7. Structures and mechanisms will be put in place that encourage recruitment, retention and progression of under-represented minorities, such as, BAME, and respect equality, diversity and inclusion

随着全球人口继续从75亿（2019年）增加到95亿（2050年），再加上城市化和工业化的加剧，我们将需要更好地（再）利用资源来维持我们的化学，材料和能源需求。2015年，联合国认识到这些问题，并制定了17个可持续发展目标（SDG），以保护我们地球及其居民的未来。特别是可持续发展目标12“可持续消费和生产”，重点关注更好的资源利用、资源回收、“少花钱多办事”以及从线性经济转向循环经济，这被英国政府和行业视为具有战略重要性。例如，英国化学理事会的化学品部门战略（http：//tiny.cc/mru3fz）强调更加重视可再生原材料的采购，确保产品不受污染，并进行创新以减少碳足迹。英国工业战略和DEFRA 25年环境计划都强调循环、绿色经济和发展领导力。最近的科学创新审计（北方发电站：化学和工艺部门科学http：//tiny.cc/tsu3fz，以及英格兰北部的生物经济http：//tiny.cc/jwu3fz）强调了我们的化学和生物经济部门的重要性，化学和生物学的相互联系，培训的重要性，再培训和提高技能，以及物理和生物科学的持续专业发展。化学品行业是英国最大的制造业之一，营业额为487亿英镑，员工人数约为100万人。14万人，越来越多的跨学科。为了在全球范围内具有竞争力，英国企业需要将目前的生产实践（通常是线性和资源消耗型的）转变为循环，资源效率和可持续的生产实践，通过重新培训和提高现有员工的技能，以加速影响。与业界合作，该项目将开发和嵌入：1。一个高度重新和提高技能的研究科学家队伍，在循环，资源效率，可持续制造方面具有卓越和领导力，影响化学和相关行业当前和未来知识驱动的商业决策，从而提高全球可持续性。2.个人特定的博士学习合同（PSDLC）旨在满足个人，雇主和学术主管的需求。通常情况下，缺乏对期望的清晰理解，在过去一直是成功的工业博士的失败和障碍。项目将通过我们的项目合作伙伴以工业为驱动力，从而加速创新和促进经济增长。3.支持机制，鼓励同行学习和反思，通过定期队列会议，讨论具体的问题，工业学生，并确定改进的领域。同样，还将实施双向伙伴计划（学术学生/工业学生），使双方都能从对方的经验中受益。4.新的（和扩展的当前），灵活的，信用轴承内部和虚拟的持续专业发展模块，以反映具体需求。例如，将开发和提供变革管理、业务战略和负责任的研究创新方面的培训单元。5.将调查奖励先前经验学习的机制，以便快速跟踪博士培训，并将其纳入定制的博士课程。6.由项目合作伙伴（行业和专业机构）组成的积极的利益相关者工作组，他们将在头两年每季度举行一次会议，继续消除风险障碍，创新并在组织内部和外部传播该计划的好处。7.将建立结构和机制，鼓励招聘、保留和晋升代表性不足的少数群体，如黑人、亚裔和少数族裔，并尊重平等、多样性和包容性。
