The Centres of Doctoral Training (CDTs) are the research-training flagship initiative for EPSRC/NERC. In these centres students are recruited into cohorts and receive high-level specialist training in areas of strategic importance to UK. Within these there are nine identifiable as having an energy focus.One criticism of CDTs is that they are overly specialist and there is a danger that students may not develop an overview of energy necessary to bring their particular specialism to the complex problem of modernising the UK's energy system. To remedy this we are seeking to organise a two-day invited conference in which the student cohorts will have the opportunity to meet and to form inter-CDT teams to competitively develop solutions to the problem of decarbonising the UK's low-grade heat network. The teams will need to pool different technologies and produce solutions that will be assessed by high-profile energy experts. During this process they will have access to consultancy specialists in the areas of finance, law and policy. Thus the students will not only gain experience in systems thinking but also in the broader skills necessary to develop and implement new energy technologies.This conference will also introduce our external expert consultants to the CDT structure, thus raising its overall profile. We will be actively seeking new methods for introducing new 'additional' skills into energy CDT training programmes

博士培训中心 (CDT) 是 EPSRC/NERC 的研究培训旗舰项目。在这些中心，学生被招募到队列中，并接受对英国具有战略重要性的领域的高水平专业培训。其中有九个可以确定为以能源为重点。对 CDT 的一个批评是它们过于专业，并且存在这样的危险：学生可能无法对能源进行全面的了解，而无法将他们的特殊专业知识用于解决英国现代化的复杂问题。能源系统。为了解决这个问题，我们正在寻求组织一次为期两天的特邀会议，学生群体将有机会见面并组建 CDT 间团队，以竞争性地开发英国低级供热网络脱碳问题的解决方案。这些团队需要汇集不同的技术并制定解决方案，并由知名能源专家进行评估。在此过程中，他们将获得金融、法律和政策领域的咨询专家的帮助。因此，学生不仅将获得系统思维的经验，而且还将获得开发和实施新能源技术所需的更广泛的技能。本次会议还将向 CDT 结构介绍我们的外部专家顾问，从而提高其整体形象。我们将积极寻求新方法，将新的“附加”技能引入能源 CDT 培训计划
