This project brings together three university based academics with different research expertise. Two of these academics are chemists based in chemistry departments at two different universities, whilst the third is a chemical engineer based in a chemical engineering department at a third different university. The idea is for all the applicants to learn new approaches to their research from the others. To do this, they will work on a project which will develop new catalysts which are able to utilise sunlight to effect chemical changes. This area of research is of potential importance for the clean-up of contamined water supplies. Some of these catalysts may also be able to directly split the water, producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water. As well as increasing the expertise of the researchers involved, the combination of people with such different backgrounds/approaches may identify new areas of research or new approaches to be taken to tackle existing problems.

该项目汇集了三名具有不同研究专业知识的大学学者。其中两位学者是两所不同大学化学系的化学家，而第三位是另一所不同大学化学工程系的化学工程师。这个想法是让所有申请人都能从其他人那里学习新的研究方法。为此，他们将开展一个项目，开发能够利用阳光来实现化学变化的新型催化剂。该研究领域对于净化受污染的水源具有潜在的重要性。其中一些催化剂还可以直接分解水，从阳光和水中产生氢燃料。除了提高所涉及研究人员的专业知识之外，具有不同背景/方法的人员的结合还可以确定新的研究领域或解决现有问题所需采取的新方法。
