Testimonials

“I had a great time at the CSCT and made some lifelong friends. We were constantly provided with the support to take us to a higher level. This could be by means of attending conferences and workshops related to your research, doing an internship in your preferred company and obtaining resources necessary for your knowledge growth.”
"I've been a fan of the CSCT right from its beginning. I've loved the work that the Centre has done. The whole idea of sustainable technologies and bringing together different capabilities are absolutely essential if we're going to build something that has impact."
"Working for the CSCT has given me the opportunity, industrial links and resources to develop truly sustainable technologies to reduce our impact on the environment. For example we have developed a yeast substitute for palm oil, that we are now taking to the industrial pilot scale."
“What attracted me to join the CDT was the opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary PhD project with a clear focus on industrial impact and the chance to undertake a three month placement to further develop my skills.”
