In 2009 the RCUK energy programme invested ca. £60M in energy doctoral training by establishing 12 Energy Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs). This is a major investment in the education of over 600 young people and, collectively, it has put the UK in a strong position internationally in having an innovative and coordinated programme to provide the highly trained personnel to drive the low carbon economy. These Centres now form a significant component of the RCUK Energy Programme. The vision for the proposed Network is to capitalise upon this investment and maximise value in support of EPSRC's three clear goals: Delivering Impact, Shaping Capability and Developing Leaders. The Network will also provide a mechanism to integrate the energy CDTs with other components of the RCUK energy programme, in particular the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC).The aim of the proposed Network is to maximise the quality and benefits of the training programmes through coordinated activities. Further, it will collectively raise the external profile of the CDTs, both with industry and internationally in a manner which is supportive of the RCUK energy brand. The proposed Network will provide added value by achieving the following objectives: (i) Effective coordination of training activities across the CDTs through a number of measures including common training and summer schools; (ii) Maximising the impact of local, school and public engagement activities already planned or delivered by the CDTs through the sharing of best practice, quality materials and by collaborating at high profile events. (iii) Coordination of the 12 CDT Directors, providing a forum to shape grand challenges in energy research and to discuss key issues such as the development of future energy research leaders and the progress of the CDTs. (iv) Maximising the impact and value of existing industrial engagement in the energy CDTs, ensuring that UK industry understands the CDT model, knowledge exchange and the international programme for the promotion of the CDTs model.Through coordination it is our aim that the network will maximise the value and impact made by the RCUKs investment in these Centres. A key role of the Network will be to stimulate collaboration between the Centres both in terms of taught activities where we plan to promote the sharing of resources and opportunities for joint student teaching but more importantly in research. We hope to promote centre research collaboration and joint cross-centre supervision of students. Our planned Grand Challenge Sandpits are designed to bring the academic expertise residing in the different Centres together so students at different Centres can work together on large Grand Challenge projects which will make significant impact when all the research findings are pulled together. The Network, through the stimulation of cross-Centre collaborations will help to maximise the value for the UK from the investment it has made in these Centres. The relationships between the Centre Directors and Centre Managers that are put in place through the activities of the Network should ensure that the cooperation and close working across the Centres continues beyond the lifetime of the Network Grant.

2009 年，RCUK 能源计划投资约 6000 万英镑用于能源博士培训，建立了 12 个能源博士培训中心 (CDT)，这是对 600 多名年轻人的教育的一项重大投资，总体而言，它使英国跻身于能源博士培训的行列。这些中心在提供创新和协调的计划来提供训练有素的人员来推动低碳经济方面处于国际领先地位。拟议网络的愿景是。利用这项投资并实现价值最大化，以支持 EPSRC 的三个明确目标：发挥影响力、塑造能力和培养领导者。该网络还将提供一种机制，将能源 CDT 与 RCUK 能源计划的其他组成部分（特别是英国）整合起来。能源研究中心 (UKERC)。拟议网络的目标是通过协调活动最大限度地提高培训计划的质量和效益。此外，它将共同提高 CDT 在行业和行业中的外部形象。拟议的网络将通过实现以下目标提供附加值： (i) 通过共同培训和暑期学校等多项措施有效协调整个 CDT 的培训活动； ) 通过分享最佳实践、优质材料以及在高调活动中进行合作，最大限度地提高 CDT 已计划或实施的地方、学校和公众参与活动的影响力 (iii) 协调 12 位 CDT 主任，提供一个论坛形状能源研究面临的重大挑战，并讨论未来能源研究领导者的发展和 CDT 的进展等关键问题 (iv) 最大限度地提高现有工业界参与能源 CDT 的影响和价值，确保英国工业界了解 CDT。我们的目标是通过协调，使 RCUK 在这些中心的投资所产生的价值和影响最大化。该网络的一个关键作用是刺激。之间的合作我们计划在教学活动方面促进学生联合教学的资源和机会共享，但更重要的是在研究方面，我们希望促进中心研究合作和对学生的联合跨中心监督。旨在将不同中心的学术专业知识汇集在一起​​，以便不同中心的学生可以共同开展大型挑战项目，当所有研究成果汇集在一起​​时，通过刺激跨中心合作，这些项​​目将产生重大影响。将有助于最大化通过网络活动建立的中心主任和中心管理者之间的关系应确保各中心之间的合作和密切工作在其生命周期结束后继续存在。网络补助金。
