Offshore Energy Transition Programme What we do
Strathclyde is dedicated to 'useful learning' and is committed to working with partners to tackle the major research challenges of the 21st century, while still developing the highly-skilled graduates needed by industry and the professions.
Our success to date is predicated on the conduct of excellent research, the provision of skilled graduates and a highly effective means of translating our research activities to meaningful outcomes that support innovation and deliver economic impact. The Strathclyde Offshore Energy Transition Programme builds on our experience and reputation in partnering with Industry Operators and utilises expertise already established in offshore engineering, data analytics, high value manufacturing, offshore wind, hydrogen, CCS, and with existing involvement in five UK Catapult Centres.
