Postdoctoral Development for Net Zero

C-DICE is the UK’s largest postdoctoral development programme, aiming 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. 

Postdoctoral researchers at any of our 18 partner universities across the UK can access the full range of the C-DICE programme – including research sandpits, industrial secondments, fellowships, grant funding and training events for free – all tailored to enhance your postdoc journey.
