CASE Studentship Open Competition

NERC is pleased to invite applications to the 2009/10 round with a closing date of24 November 2009 at 16:00(the date is later than our previously announced closing date, following requests from some industry sectors).

The CASE scheme promotes partnerships between eligible research organisations and public or private sector organisations.

A CASE studentship is a PhD studentship during which the student enhances their training by spending between 3 and 18 months with the co-operating body in a workplace outside the academic environment.

CASE studentship projects must provide a sound training in the methods of research and a stimulating intellectual challenge for the student. The impetus and initial requirement for the research should originate from the CASE partner.

Both the research organisation and CASE partner nominate supervisors responsible for overseeing students’ training.

Application Deadline:24 November 2009
