Research

Research undertaken as part of the IRES-8 project aims to:

1. Build closer and more structured research collaboration between the partners, who are already leading research organisations in the low carbon energy sector.
2. Engage talented EU researchers in strategically important low carbon energy research in the Chinese partner organisations.
3. Improve the researchers’ ability to work in China and help them understand how large, medium and small companies can exploit the research undertaken by Chinese institutions.
4. Disseminate and apply the knowledge acquired to grow EU expertise and skills, and help strengthen EU trade with China, especially in the energy sector.

Opportunities

The project funds EU PhD students and early career researchers to spend extended periods of between 3 and 9 months to pursue strategically important low carbon energy research at one of the internationally regarded Chinese partner institutions.
