Fully Funded PhD Studentship: CDT in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF)
Fully FundedEdinburgh, United Kingdomphd· Fully Funded (EPSRC)
Project Overview
A 4-year fully funded EPSRC CDT focusing on industrial decarbonisation and the green industrial revolution, led by Heriot-Watt University.
Basic Information
- Host Institution: Heriot-Watt University (lead)
- Study Level: PhD
- Duration: 4 years
- Start Date: October 2026
- Funding Type: Fully Funded (EPSRC)
- Location: Edinburgh
- Official Website: https://greenindustrialfutures.site.hw.ac.uk/
Project Overview & Significance
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF), led by Heriot-Watt University, is a transformative 4-year PhD programme dedicated to solving the global climate crisis through industrial decarbonisation. As the world transitions towards net-zero emissions, heavy industry faces immense pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. This CDT focuses on the interdisciplinary, whole-systems research required to achieve this green industrial revolution. It brings together engineering, chemistry, and environmental science to develop new technologies and processes that can decarbonise energy-intensive sectors, such as chemicals, materials, and manufacturing. The research aims to provide the scientific and engineering foundations for a sustainable, low-carbon industrial economy.
