The Next Generation Unmanned Systems Science (NEXUSS) Centre for Doctoral Training is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and led by the University of Southampton, in partnership with five other leading academic and research organisations (British Antarctic Survey, Heriot-Watt University, National Oceanography Centre, Scottish Association for Marine Science and University of East Anglia).
The Centre will tackle major challenges in the environmental sciences through the development and application of novel Smart and Autonomous Observing Systems (SAOS) technology. NEXUSS will develop a generation of future environmental science leaders through an innovative doctoral training programme founded around highly engaging SAOS Grand Challenge events.
