If there are requirements as to the educational background of candidates that would be suitable for the project, please specify
Potential CASE partners associated with the research.
NERC stipulates that 25% of nominal DTP studentships have a CASE component; the C-CLEAR DTP is required to have three per year. CASE projects will be prioritised. More information about CASE studentships is available at
https://nerc.ukri.org/funding/available/postgrad/focused/industrial-case/
(a) If you have a definite CASE partner, please provide details here and your project will be prioritised on the website.
(Also please contact the DTP Administrator to confirm details of CASE support.)
b) If you have a less concrete idea for CASE partners to be followed up later, please indicate here.
Have you and your co-supervisor(s) attended the University ‘Supervising Graduate Students: Workshop for Supervisors’?
