CDTs – Industrial Doctorate Centres (IDCs)Dr Jim FlemingSenior Industrial Doctorate Manager, EPSRC
The context EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training are a new approach to training PhD students, creating communities of researchers working on current and future challenges. 19 of the centres will be industrial training centres that will equip their students with the business skills they need to turn pioneering ideas into products and services, boosting their impact on the UK’s economy.
The multidisciplinary centres bring together diverse areas of expertise to train engineers and scientists with the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle today’s evolving issues. They also create new working cultures, build relationships between teams in universities and forge lasting links with industry.
This approach to training has been extensively piloted by EPSRC through a number of Engineering Doctorate Centres and Doctoral Training Centres in Complexity Science, Systems Biology and at the Life Sciences Interface. This increased investment builds on the success of these and will establish a strong group of centres which will rapidly establish a pre-eminent international reputation for doctoral training.
Purpose of Industrial Doctorate CentresDoctorate level education for
UK's leading researchers aiming for a career in industry
The Research:
relevant to the needs of industry
in partnership with, industry

Importance to Industry
Creating a High-Value Economy
• It involves what I call deep knowledge;
• It has a high research and technology content;
• It requires a profound understanding of the customer;
• It exploits both scientific and experiential intellectual property;
• It involves the definition of solutions that meet complex requirements;
• It requires well-developed systems integration skills;
