"The University of Cambridge and Shell have an agreement which will enable them to collaborate on a wide range of new research projects, focusing on making energy more affordable and environmentally sustainable. Participation in this Cambridge Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Intensive Science is a part of that wider relationship.

Many of Shell’s own current research interests – such as chemical manufacturing, oil recovery, gas production, geophysical imaging and future sustainable energy technologies – closely match Cambridge’s own strengths in fields such as Data Intensive Science and machine learning.

This is an exciting development and will be a relationship which builds on our current work with Shell. It promises to enable new projects which tackle the grand challenge of providing for a sustainable and secure energy future, drawing on a wide range of research expertise from numerous disciplines.

It is part of Shell’s commitment to strengthening long-term relationships with the world’s top universities in order to deliver – at speed – future technologies. It will facilitate a more sustained approach to research in vital strategic areas such as Earth Sciences and Computational Technologies.

In particular, Shell wishes to develop integrated research programmes that draw upon cross-faculty expertise and facilities."
