Awarded competitively by the Faculty of Science and Technology of Lancaster University:
The EPSRC Doctoral Prize helps universities retain and recruit the best doctoral students, providing funding to develop them beyond the end of the PhD by providing additional support to help launch a successful career in research. The support may take the form of a prize, a salary, research resources or funding to visit other groups or facilitate knowledge transfer. It could be linked to the University’s own resources. For example, a fellowship, or sponsorship from industry to form a bigger package.
