Studentships
CASE Studentship Open Competition
NERC invites applications to the CASE Studentship Open Competition. The scheme promotes partnership between eligible research organisations and public or private sector organisations, and enhances the training of the student who can spend between 3 and 18 months in a workplace outside the academic environment.
The CASE partner should provide the impetus and initial requirement for the studentship and must supplement the student’s maintenance grant by at least £1000pa.
The closing date for applications is 4pm on 14 October 2010.
As well as an open round for applications within NERC’s remit, up to five studentships will be awarded in each of the six priority areas listed below, to facilitate collaboration with private sector partners:
a) water
b) energy
c) Food and agriculture
d) resource management (minerals, forestry, waste etc)
e) financial services (risk management and valuation, including insurance)
f) environmental monitoring
The Call’s web page is at: www.nerc.ac.uk/using/schemes/case.asp. The JeS form will be available from 1 September, and more detailed guidance will be on the web page before the end of August.
Royal Society Industry Fellowships
The Industry Fellowship scheme promotes the exchange of knowledge between academia and industry by establishing personal and corporate links between the two sectors. This should act as a foundation for long-term collaboration and development.
Funding is available to enable:
- academic scientists to work on a collaborative project with industry, or
- someone in industry to work on a collaborative project with a university or not-for-profit, non-publicly funded research organisation
EMpower Scheme
