The institutions will need to demonstrate existing industry engagement and private sector support, assisting them in providing students with industry experience and practical skills.
Your research organisation must be eligible for STFC funding.
The institutions will also need to demonstrate industry commitment to fund for 25% of the PhD(s) cost (£27,458 per PhD and £22,500 per student for consumables) for cohort two.
Academic institutions are welcomed to apply individually or as part of a group as they will be encouraged to collaborate as part of the R2T2 hub. This funding opportunity will not be open to non-UK organisations.
