What is the IDC?
In 2009, the University of Surrey was awarded a £12m grant from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to launch two prestigious Industrial Doctorate Centres.
Surrey is home to two of only nineteen IDCs in the UK- ‘Micro-and Nano-Materials and Technologies’ (MiNMat) and ‘Sustainability for Engineering & Energy Systems’ (SEES).
Both IDCs provide a supportive and engaging environment for students to carry out challenging Engineering Doctorate (EngD) research projects The IDCs also provide a framework for high quality collaboration between academics and industry sponsors.
