Postdoctoral Development for Net Zero
From January 2021 to March 2026, C-DICE led the UK’s largest postdoctoral development programme, to build and sustain the advanced skills base required to create a pipeline of world-class talent for the Infrastructure, Cities and Energy (IC&E) sectors, and accelerate progress towards a net-zero society.
It has supported over 2,000 postdoctoral researchers, building skills, networks, and collaborations that advance net zero innovation. As the funded period ended on 31 March 2026, the programme celebrates its strong legacy of real‑world impact, published research, and long‑lasting resources, while looking ahead to future partnership opportunities.
