Resilient Digitalising Infrastructure (ReDI) SCDT

Project: Internally funded project

Project Details

Description

The ReDI (Resilience in Digitalising Infrastructure) SCDT aims to produce ‘new resilience thinkers’ – not just in the graduates we deliver but also in the building of a whole community including staff from partner and stakeholder organisations and academics working in relevant fields.
ReDI will innovate in how the doctoral-level studentships are delivered, aligning ambitions between industry and academics, borrowing from the cohort approach proposed in the original EPSRC CDT and making the most of the freedoms implicit in an independently funding model. Our Industry partners and co-funders are keen to support this programme which aligns with their ambitions, including:
•Partners should together shape high level ‘challenge themes’ to reflect real world context;
•The themes should drive a co-creation process for PhD project definition involving partners, academics and students;
•‘Resilience Foundations’ training upfront should provide students with a shared, baseline understanding of key risk and resilience topics;
•Partners should be engaged with the whole student cohort (although individual students may be industry co-supervised and take on placements);
•A programme of activities should be supported to bring together partner staff with academics, students and other stakeholders to develop shared knowledge and build a community.
