Welcome to CDT

We celebrated our tenth anniversary in 2019. The CDT has admitted 114 students (Jan 2024) from eleven different academic departments across the faculties of science, social sciences and the arts. Originally funded by EPSRC, DEI has worked to ensure that the CDT continues beyond the original research council funding

The CDT is one of the longest-running, largest and most successful CDTs at Durham University. The CDT was originally funded by EPSRC. The Durham Energy Institute has worked to ensure that the CDT is now continuing beyond the original research council funding.
