about
Following the recent announcement from the BBSRC regarding their investment in the third phase of Doctoral Training Partnerships we are pleased to be NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 2020 START
We are also excited to welcome two new full partners to the LIDo programme. Royal Holloway University (RHUL) and the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Greenwich (NRI) join the partnership to create a truly pan-London consortium that can address all aspects of the BBSRCs remit and strategic priorities. This expansion brings significant growth in student choice by extending the research excellence of the programme, with marked capacity in the promotion of plant and food security science.
We are building a brand new website. Please consider helping us by completing this very short survey.
