Welcome to the E4 and E5 Doctoral Training Partnerships

The E4 Doctoral Training Partnership (E4 DTP), led by the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh, was funded by NERC to train 5 cohorts of PhD students annually from 2019 and 2023. Building on this success, the E5 DTP will continue this legacy by recruiting and training 3 cohorts of PhD students annually between 2024 and 2026.
