The Economic and Social Research Council has launched a Doctoral Training Network, formed from 14 Doctoral Training Partnerships, and two Centres for Doctoral Training.
Jane Elliott, ESRC chief executive, said in a statement on 1 August that the first students would join the network in October 2017 and would develop “valuable skills including capabilities in communication, project-management and collaboration within and beyond academia”.
