India ’clean cold’ partnership set to boost healthy nutrition and farmers’ incomes

Eight leading universities in the Midlands are joining together to train the next generation of highly-skilled arts and humanities researchers, thanks to funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The Midlands4Cities Arts and Humanities Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) , led by the University of Nottingham, will result in 460 new postgraduate studentship opportunities across the region over the next five years. The consortium brings together academic expertise from - the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, the University of Warwick, Coventry University, De Montfort University, the University of Leicester, Nottingham Trent University, and the University of Nottingham. All eight of the universities in the DTP have also committed to match the AHRC funding. It is one of 10 new Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) announced by the AHRC today (15 August). The programme offered by the Midlands4Cities partnership builds on the track record of the previous Midands3Cities DTP, which led the way in collaborative postgraduate research, training, joint supervision and partner engagement with organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sectors. The Midlands4Cities DTP is expanding on the previous research and training capacity of the Midlands3Cities DTP by adding an additional two partners to its consortium - Coventry University and the University of Warwick.
