The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Wind and Marine Energy Systems and Structures (WAMESS-CDT) joins together two successful EPSRC CDTs (Wind and Marine Energy System,s and Renewable Energy Marine Structures), their industrial partners, and a strong track record of training more than 130 researchers to date in Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE).

The WAMESS-CDT is a comprehensive, world-leading centre covering all aspects of wind and marine renewable energy, both above and below the water. It aims to produce highly skilled industry-ready engineers and researchers with multidisciplinary expertise, deep specialist knowledge, and a broad understanding of integrated ORE systems.

Our graduates will become future leaders in industry and academia worldwide, driving development of the ORE sector, supporting the delivery of the Government's carbon reduction targets for 2050, and ensuring that the UK remains at the forefront of this vitally important sector.

The WAMESS-CDT will make an important contribution to meeting the sector’s skills demand by delivering 70 DPhil, EngD, or PhD-qualified future engineering leaders. These graduates will be equipped with application-specific training, professional engineering skills and practical experience to support safe, cost-competitive, and high-performance renewable energy at scale for decades to come.
