Bringing Together Eager Problem Solvers

 

We are building global networks of academic excellence and industry partnership that extend NSC reach and synergise globally leading capacity and capability aligned to our research programmes. 

 

By bringing together eager problem solvers, world class facilities and novel engagement with a host of stakeholders, our technical capabilities are ever growing:  

  • Hydrogen 
  • Wind 
  • Wave 
  • CCUS 
  • High Performance Computing 
  • Artificial Intelligence 
  • Data Science 
  • Planning and Design Optimisation 
  • Robotics 
  • Hyperspectral Imaging 
  • SMART Materials 
  • Engineering 
  • Techno Economic Studies 

Industries

 

The challenges addressed by SMART technologies often recur across multiple industries, meaning that solutions often have cross-industry transferability. The development of smart subsea and marine technologies can be accelerated by importing and adapting relevant solutions from other industries, or by developing cross-industry solutions to common challenges with diverse partner consortia:
