=Industrial CDT for Offshore Renewable Energy= The Industrial CDT for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Natural Environment Research Council under the 2018 round of awards for Centres for Doctoral Training. IDCORE is one of only two of the 75 Centres to be funded jointly by EPSRC and NERC. From September 2019 to September 2023 IDCORE will recruit 50 Research Engineers to study for a jointly awarded Engineering Doctorate. Unlike many of the other CDTs, IDCORE does not award traditional PhDs.

The Centre is led by the University of Edinburgh and is delivered in partnership with the University of Exeter, the University of Strathclyde and the Scottish Association for Marine Science.

IDCORE's Research Engineers undertake a bespoke programme of study before undertaking a three year research project based in industry. During the research project they are supervised by a team of academics and an industrialist from their sponsor company. As with all CDTs the training programme is designed to deliver a strong cohort of students and graduates.

IDCORE was originally funded by the Energy Technologies Institute and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council as the Industrial Doctoral Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy. It recruited its first research engineers in January 2012, and supported six further cohorts with the last being recruited in September 2017.

Sponsor companies have included: Their activities cover the offshore renewable energy sector including offshore wind, wave and tidal energy. In terms of size they range from micro-SMEs to very large enterprises. They include device developers, original equipment manufacturers, consulting engineers, test houses and certification agencies. Every company has sponsored and led a piece of original research work. At the end of their project the students have submitted an Engineering Doctorate thesis which has been examined by a panel including an external industrial examiner, an external academic examiner, and an independent internal examiner.
