A key aspect of the programme will be its emphasis on collaboration, with funding available to facilitate partnerships between PhD researchers and non-university organisations, ensuring that their research has real-world applications.
The AHRC has also encouraged universities to use this award to widen participation in doctoral studies. The University of Manchester is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity in its PhD recruitment, and will align this initiative with its existing efforts to support students from underrepresented backgrounds.
As part of the AHRC Doctoral Landscape Hub, the university will work closely with other institutions to share best practice and enhance training opportunities for PhD students. A designated representative from The University of Manchester will participate in a national hub meeting to coordinate efforts and ensure the success of the programme.
