This supports the creation of centres for doctoral training (CDT) to address priority or emerging training needs within the environmental sciences. The aim is to produce the next generation of internationally recognised doctoral researchers with each CDT supporting PhD studentships, creating a community aimed at addressing a specific research challenge and related skills gap. There is funding for each of the three CDTs to receive 24 notional studentships over the course of three annual intakes.
