项目摘要

UKERC's over-arching aim is to provide, and communicate the outcomes of, high-quality energyresearch to inform the actions that government in the UK and other stakeholders must take to ensure thatthe energy sector moves forward along a path compatible with climate policy goals, energy security, thewider international framework and environmental, social and economic needs.The case for support for a second phase of the UK Energy Research Centre focuses on three areas ofactivity: a) an interdisciplinary, whole systems research programme with an increasingly internationalfocus; b) capacity building activities through interdisciplinary PhD training and support for early careerresearchers; and c) a range of knowledge exchange activities aimed at disseminating knowledge,reinforcing the cohesion of the UK energy research community, connecting it effectively with stakeholdergroups and enhancing links with international energy researchers.The research programme is framed by a cluster of research and scientific challenges responding to arapidly changing energy agenda driven by environmental and security concerns. The challenges are:driving systemic change in the energy sector; managing environmental impacts; and enhancing energysecurity and resilience. The challenges will be met by drawing on competences within four researchthemes, each interdisciplinary in character and each led by a senior UK researcher. The themes are:Energy Demand; Energy Supply; Energy and Environment; and Energy Systems. In addition, aTechnology and Policy Assessment function will conduct in-depth reviews of difficult topics within theenergy domain, building on the systematic review approaches developed in Phase I. We proposemechanisms for defining and commissioning a flexible programme of research which will develop inresponse to emerging needs and will engage a much wider range of researchers who can contribute to theenergy agenda.The principal capacity building mechanisms will be an interdisciplinary studentship competition, anannual summer school and support for the "SPARKS" early career network.Knowledge exchange will be delivered through: a) a continuation of the Phase I communications functiontargeting the media and opinion-forming groups; and b) a more tightly specified Networking function,under whose auspices we will operate the successful Meeting Place function; maintain and develop, withan increasing emphasis on roadmapping activity, the UK Energy Research Atlas; and use mechanismssuch as meetings, newsletters and the website to operate the National Energy Research Network (NERN)in order to connect the UK energy research community both internally and with other stakeholders in theUK and overseas.We propose that a core partnership of six institutions will be led by the Executive and Research Directorsoperating from the Headquarters at Imperial College. The governance structure which operated underPhase I, comprising the Supervisory Board, Advisory Board and Directors' Committee, will bestrengthened by creating a new Research Committee comprising both members of the core consortium,members of the wider community and other stakeholders. This will oversee the flexible programme ofresearch and the studentship competition.

UKERC的首要目标是提供和交流高质量的能源研究成果，为英国政府和其他利益相关者必须采取的行动提供信息，以确保能源部门沿着与气候政策目标、能源安全、更广泛的国际框架以及环境、社会和经济需求相兼容的道路前进。支持英国能源研究中心第二阶段的案例主要集中在三个方面：a)一个跨学科的、日益国际化的全系统研究项目；b)通过跨学科博士培训和支持早期职业研究人员开展能力建设活动；c)一系列知识交流活动，旨在传播知识，加强英国能源研究界的凝聚力，有效地将其与利益相关者团体联系起来，并加强与国际能源研究人员的联系。该研究计划的框架是一系列研究和科学挑战，以应对环境和安全问题推动的快速变化的能源议程。面临的挑战是：推动能源领域的系统性变革；管理环境影响；加强能源安全和韧性。这些挑战将通过利用四个研究主题的能力来应对，每个研究主题都是跨学科的，每个研究主题都由一位英国高级研究员领导。主题是：能源需求；能源供应;能源与环境；和能源系统。此外，技术和政策评估功能将在第一阶段开发的系统评估方法的基础上，对能源领域的困难主题进行深入审查。我们提出了定义和委托灵活研究计划的机制，该计划将根据新出现的需求发展，并将吸引更广泛的研究人员为能源议程做出贡献。主要的能力建设机制将是跨学科的学生竞赛、一年一度的暑期学校和对“火花”早期职业网络的支持。知识交流将通过以下方式进行：a)继续第一阶段的通讯功能，以媒体和意见形成团体为目标；b)更严格的网络功能，在其支持下，我们将成功运营会议场所功能；维护和发展英国能源研究地图集，并日益强调道路制图活动；并利用会议、通讯和网站等机制来运营国家能源研究网络（NERN），以便将英国能源研究界与内部以及英国和海外的其他利益相关者联系起来。我们建议由帝国理工学院总部的执行主任和研究主任领导六个机构的核心伙伴关系。第一阶段运行的治理结构包括监事会、咨询委员会和董事委员会，将通过创建一个新的研究委员会来加强，该委员会由核心财团成员、更广泛的社区成员和其他利益相关者组成。这将监督灵活的研究计划和学生竞赛。
