UKERC - UK Energy Research Centre

Bildungs- und Forschungskooperation Forschungseinrichtungen und -infrastruktur Netzwerke in Forschung, Technologie und Innovation Politikberatung

UKERC is an independent research centre, with researchers based in 20 different institutions throughout the UK, these are: Cardiff University, Chatham House, Durham University, Imperial College London, Lancaster University, Newcastle University, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Science and Technology Facilities Council, University College London, University of Aberdeen, University of Bath, University of East Anglia, University of Edinburgh, University of Exeter, University of Leeds, University of Manchester, University of Oxford, University of Southampton, University of Strathclyde and  the University of Warwick.

The Centre was established following a recommendation made by the Chief Scientific Advisor’s Energy Research Review Group’s 2002 report. Broadly, the report recommended setting up a new Energy Research Centre to:

  • Bring together Government, industry and academia
  • Be a networking centre to co-ordinate UK research, facilitate industry collaboration and promote UK participation in international projects
  • Be a centre of excellence in its own right
  • Help maximise returns from research investment and leverage private sector funds

UKERC’s activities are overseen by a committee consisting of the UKERC Director and eleven Co-Directors, and is advised by an independent Advisory Board.

Its headquarters are based in the Bartlett School of  Environment, Energy and Resources at University College London, where six professional services and research staff work.
