About the UK Energy Research Centre
The UK Energy Research Centre's mission is to be the UK's pre-eminent centre of research, and source of authoritative information and leadership, on sustainable energy systems.
The Centre was established in 2004, following a recommendation from the 2002 Energy Review (see p146) initiated by Sir David King, the UK Government's Chief Scientific Advisor.
The Centre's funds come from three Research Councils: the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
The Councils funded UKERC for an initial five years and in May 2009 awarded a further round of funding for another five years. To see an overview of achievements see our Milestones.
UKERC organises its networking and research activity under five related themes
