University of Surrey Vice-Chancellor Professor Patrick Dowling said: "I am delighted that the University of Surrey has been successful in being awarded this contract.
We are extremely proud to be associated with such a prestigious organisation as Rolls-Royce and I am confident that the quality of our engineering research will add value and further excellence".
Rolls-Royce works together with a number of universities across the UK and worldwide to support and develop research in academic centres of excellence.
These UTC partnerships create a crosscultural working environment for Rolls-Royce and university staff in areas of basic science, applied research, staff training, and technology transfer, where the universities can benefit from privileged access to Rolls-Royce capability bases and information networks.
In particular, the UTC at Surrey will be working closely with an existing UTC at the University of Sussex, led by Dr Peter Childs.
