They need to be equipped to later apply technologies which do not currently exist and which will inform innovation for decades ahead as technologies mature. These skills need to be multidisciplinary in nature, be they engineering, logistical or environmental, and doctoral graduates need the flexibility and innovativeness to move between projects as priorities evolve in optimally resourcing an increasingly congested marine energy environment.
N0MES recruits multidisciplinary cohorts of PGRs, attracting talent from diverse academic backgrounds spanning science and engineering to address net zero maritime energy challenges. The training programme has been designed by UoL, LJMU, and industry partners to ensure that modules: (i) are directly relevant to their research, (ii) develop business and transferrable skills, and (iii) cover relevant areas of engineering not covered in UG degree and career history.
The doctoral training programme has been co-designed and will be co-delivered by UoL, LJMU and industry partners. It is underpinned by: (1) a multidisciplinary taught programme in Year 1, (2) annual industry-led ‘wicked problem bootcamps’, and (3) professional skills training delivered by UoL and LJMU Doctoral Academies, specialist external providers, and industry partners.
The cohort approach will develop N0MES PGRs’ abilities to communicate and operate across the disparate disciplines of net zero maritime energy and become flexible, innovative leaders who can move between projects and disciplines as priorities and scientific imperatives evolve.
