Centres for Doctoral TrainingCo-I centres

These centres are funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and, while the University of Strathclyde is a partner in the centre, the lead academic institution will be a partner UK university.

We currently have CO-I centres with:

  • University of Edinburgh
  • University of Glasgow
  • Cranfield University 
  • Heriot-Watt University 
  • Loughborough University
  • University of Lincoln
  • University of Bristol
  • University of Salford

Some of these centres will have projects which are delivered by Strathclyde, however most applications will be directed through the lead institution.
