The University of Strathclyde is developing its reputation as a leading international technological university and demonstrates strengths in the areas of Photonics, Power and Energy, Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing, and Bionanotechnology. Within these themes international partners at various institutions in the USA and the Far East have been identified for longer term strategic engagements across multiple themes. To develop these and realise our ambitious targets the Global Engagements in Research Escalator framework has been proposed. This builds on existing linkages between international groups and the University and maps out the escalation activities. The Photonics theme focuses on the application of gallium nitride visible light emitting diode technology in microsystems through international collaborations on advanced biomedical instrumentation and optical communications. It brings together under a unified technology platform two tremendous opportunities for solid state lighting: a high-bandwidth data communications interface for mobile communications and an interface for control of behaviour in organisms via optical stimulation of neurons. In the Power and Energy theme an international research programme in smart grids will be created. This resonates with an area of international importance. In order to deliver the UK and global targets for a low carbon economy with renewable energy, the electric power system must change radically. New information and communication technologies must combine with advances in power system operation and control to accommodate electric vehicles, new energy services and a variety of renewable generation technologies. Our aim is to make novel advances in all of these areas by linking international experts and smart grid test facilities. The Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing theme underpins society's major challenges in health, transportation, energy and climate. The engineering of flow systems on the micro and nano scales will play an important role in meeting these challenges; for example, nano-filtering seawater to make it drinkable for water-stressed populations, and embedding micro and nano devices in aeroplane and ship surfaces to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Partnering with the best international researchers in the field, our aim is to deliver comprehensive new techniques for simulating multi-scale flows, and demonstrate them on strategic engineering grand challenges including next-generation lithography. Within this theme the EPSRC Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation is concerned with establishing new collaborations on the development of novel continuous manufacturing technologies to improve understanding of particle formation and exploit this knowledge to enhance manufacture of particles with specific beneficial properties. This has significant potential given the importance of particulate processing across many fine chemical industries including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments and energetic materials. The proposed links with international experts will lead to accelerated progress, raised profile of UK-based research and ultimately enhance the opportunities for high quality, collaborative research outcomes. The Bionanotechnology theme drives invention, manipulation and exploitation of nanoscale structures based on biological interactions with an emphasis on healthcare applications, most notably diagnostics, regenerative medicine and improvements to drugs either by delivery or target elucidation. By focusing on the molecular control over such processes and systems and linking leading researchers in the physical and life sciences with those in engineering and health related disciplines, the aim is to produce world leading research with applications in areas such as biosensors, functional materials and self-assembled nanostructures.

Strathclyde大学正在发展其领先的国际技术大学的声誉，并在光子学，电力和能源，高级工程和制造业以及Bionanotechnology方面展示了优势。在这些主题中，在美国各个机构和远东地区的国际合作伙伴已被确定，以进行多个主题的长期战略参与。为了开发这些并意识到我们雄心勃勃的目标，已经提出了研究自动扶梯框架的全球参与。这建立在国际团体与大学之间的现有联系，并绘制升级活动。 Photonics主题着重于通过国际生物医学仪器和光学通信的国际合作在微系统中发射二极管技术在微系统中的应用。它在统一的技术平台下汇集了固态照明的两个巨大机会：用于移动通信的高带宽数据通信界面，以及通过神经元的光刺激来控制生物行为的界面。在Power and Energy主题中，将创建一个国际智能电网研究计划。这引起了国际重要性的共鸣。为了通过可再生能源实现英国和全球低碳经济的目标，电力系统必须彻底改变。新的信息和通信技术必须与电力系统操作和控制方面的进步相结合，以容纳电动汽车，新的能源服务以及各种可再生生成技术。我们的目标是通过将国际专家和智能电网测试设施联系起来，在所有这些领域取得新的进步。先进的工程和制造主题是社会在健康，运输，能源和气候方面面临的主要挑战。在微观和纳米量表上流动系统的工程将在应对这些挑战方面发挥重要作用；例如，纳米过滤海水使其可用于水压力种群，并将微型和纳米设备嵌入飞机和船上，以提高燃油效率并减少二氧化碳排放。与该领域最好的国际研究人员合作，我们的目标是提供全面的新技术，以模拟多规模流，并将其展示为包括下一代光刻在内的战略工程巨大挑战。在此主题中，EPSRC连续制造和结晶中心涉及建立有关开发新型连续制造技术的新合作，以提高对粒子形成的理解，并利用这种知识来增强具有特定有益特性的颗粒的制造。考虑到颗粒化学工业（包括农业化学物质，药品，染料，颜料和能量材料）的重要性，这具有巨大的潜力。拟议的与国际专家的联系将导致进步的进步，提高了基于英国的研究，并最终增强了高质量，协作研究成果的机会。 Bionanotechnology主题推动了基于生物学相互作用的纳米级结构的发明，操纵和剥削，重点是医疗保健应用，最著名的诊断，再生医学以及通过分娩或目标阐明对药物的改进。通过关注对此类过程和系统的分子控制，并将物理和生命科学领域的主要研究人员与工程和与健康相关学科的研究人员联系起来，目的是在生物传感器，功能材料和自组装的纳米结构等领域中进行世界领先的研究。
