Two new Cambridge 探花直播 Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) are to be funded as part of a package unveiled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 探花直播Rt. Hon George Osborne MP, today (March 28 2014).

探花直播CDT model has proved highly popular with universities and industry and these new Centres will mean that the UK is even better placed to maintain the vital supply of trained scientists and engineers.

Chief Executive of the EPSRC, Professor David Delpy

探花直播two new centres providing postgraduate training are the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) CDT in Sensor Technologies and Application and the EPSRC CDT in Analysis.

探花直播CDT in Sensor Technologies and Application builds on CamBridgeSens, the 探花直播's strategic network in sensor research. Professor Clemens Kaminski of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology and Director of the CDT said: 鈥淪ensors are a pervasive technology now, impacting on every aspect of our lives, and markets are already thought to exceed 拢300bn globally. There is enormous potential here for UK industry and academia to capitalise on these developments, but there are challenges too. Sensor innovation requires foundations in incredibly diverse fields. Traditional, single-discipline PhD programmes are not suited for this task. 探花直播CDT will act like a 鈥榲irtual superdepartment鈥 in sensor technologies to educate the next generation of sensor champions.鈥

探花直播Cambridge Centre for Analysis also comes on the back of previous high achievement in this area. 鈥淲e are happy to be able to build on the success of the last four years 鈥 and look forward to training some of the best mathematical talent around in the next five cohorts of our CDT,鈥 said Director of the CDT, Professor James Norris of the Department of Pure Maths and Mathematical Statistics.

探花直播EPSRC and other research councils have been able to fund these new Centres, a total of 22 across the country, following a 拢106 million investment announced in the Budget. 探花直播support of industry, universities and charitable partners, on top of the funding for 91 centres previously announced by EPSRC, now brings the total investment in training for future scientists and engineers to over 拢950m.

Chief Executive of the EPSRC, Professor David Delpy, commented: 鈥 探花直播CDT model has proved highly popular with universities and industry and these new Centres will mean that the UK is even better placed to maintain the vital supply of trained scientists and engineers.鈥
