NERC switches to doctoral training partnerships
The Natural Environment Research Council is to reorganise its PhD funding into Doctoral Training Partnerships, with funding allocated in a smaller number of larger, long-term grants. Partnerships between institutions are encouraged, and the council will also increase the length of funding to four years. It will also split PhDs into two types: “responsive training”, where the topic is chosen by candidates and supervisors, and “focused training”, where doctorates are directed by what NERC identifies as priority fields or skills.
