University of York DTP Mobility Pilot 2020 2023

随着全球人口从75亿（2019年）持续增长到95亿（2050年），再加上城市化和工业化程度的提高，我们需要更好地（再）利用资源，以满足我们对化学、材料和能源的需求。2015年，联合国认识到这些问题，并制定了17项可持续发展目标（sdg），以保护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”，侧重于更好地利用资源，资源回收，“少花钱多做”，从线性经济转向循环经济，这被英国政府和行业认为具有重要的战略意义。例如，英国化学理事会的化学品行业战略（http://tiny.cc/mru3fz）更加强调采购可再生原材料，确保产品不含污染物，并通过创新减少碳足迹。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（北方动力：化学和过程部门科学http://tiny.cc/tsu3fz和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，再技能和提升技能，以及物理和生物科学的持续专业发展。化工行业是英国最大的制造业之一，营业额为487亿英镑，雇佣约14万人，并且越来越多地变得跨学科。为了具有全球竞争力，英国企业需要通过对现有劳动力进行再培训和提升技能，将当前的制造业实践（通常是线性的、消耗资源的）转变为循环的、资源高效的和可持续的，以加速影响。通过与工业界的合作，该项目将开发和嵌入：在循环，资源高效，可持续制造方面具有卓越和领导能力的高技能研究科学家队伍，影响化学及相关行业当前和未来的知识驱动型商业决策，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，缺乏对期望的清晰理解是过去成功的工业博士的垮台和障碍。项目将由我们的项目合作伙伴推动，从而加速创新，促进经济增长。3. 支持通过定期分组会议鼓励同侪学习和反思的机制，讨论工业学生的具体问题，并确定需要改进的领域。同样，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（和扩展现有的），灵活的，信用的内部和虚拟CPD模块，以反映特定的需求。例如，将开发和提供变革管理、商业战略和负责任的研究创新方面的培训模块。5. 奖励先前经验学习的机制，以便快速跟踪博士培训，将被调查并纳入定制的博士课程。6. 由项目合作伙伴（行业和专业团体）组成的积极的利益相关者工作组，将在头两年每季度召开一次会议，继续消除风险障碍，创新并向其组织内部和外部传播该计划的好处。7. 将建立结构和机制，鼓励招募、保留和晋升代表性不足的少数民族，如白人白人，并尊重平等、多样性和包容性

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
