EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) Future Infrastructure and Build Environment: Unlocking Net Zero (FIBE3)

The FIBE3 CDT is an EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training that supports a minimum of 50 studentships over five years of recruitment, which started in October 2024. In close partnership with its industry partners, the CDT aims to develop the next generation of PhD graduates to champion the urgent, complex, inter-connected and cross-disciplinary transition to net zero infrastructure. The program transforms students' potential by equipping them with the knowledge, skills and qualities to collaboratively engineer the infrastructure that will unlock net zero. Through conducting world-class, cutting-edge and user-need focused cohort-based training and research, FIBE3 CDT students will gain the knowledge and skills required to lead the design and implementation of the infrastructure net zero agenda in the UK. The program offers a 4-year combined MRes + PhD award covering home fees, maintenance, and a Research Training and Support Grant for other training costs such as attending conferences. The majority of awards are made to Home students, but up to 30% may be made to International (including EU) students. International students receiving UKRI funding are automatically eligible for the University Fee Bursary Scheme to cover the difference between Home and International fee rates.
