SEEDA EPSRC INDUSTRIAL CASE STUDENTSHIPS 2007
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is the UK Government's leading funding agency for research and training in engineering and the physical sciences.
Each year a number of Industrial Co-operative Awards in Science and Engineering (CASE) studentships are allocated to facilitate 3-year research projects run in conjunction with an academic institution and a business. EPSRC allocates Industrial CASE to companies to enable them to take the lead in defining and setting up research projects with the Research Organisation of their choice.
Four (4) studentships have been allocated for the South East region in 2007. The closing date for applications is 12:00 on the 31st May 2007.
Colin Baldwin, Knowledge Transfer Manager at SEEDA will be handling applications. Any interest in participating in the scheme should be directed to Colin who will forward on the application forms. colinbaldwin@seeda.co.uk These should be completed jointly by the industrial and university partners and submitted to SEEDA by the industrial partner.
Applications will be judged upon on a number of criteria, including:
• The benefits of the project to the student and their personal development;
• The partnership demonstrating a benefit to the South East through either the Company or the University Institution based within the region;
• The partnership being able to demonstrate that suitable and acceptable resources are in place to aid the completion of the project;
• The potential benefits of the project to science and the benefits to the business economy of that particular sector;
• How the project will advance any existing technology.
