Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) ARIES Doctoral Training Partnership

The University of Kent is part of the Advanced Research and Innovation in the Environmental Sciences (ARIES) Doctoral Training Partnership funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). ARIES equips the next generation of environmental scientists with the knowledge and tools to better understand and manage our planet. The program develops multiple cohorts of scientists with advanced skills and knowledge, multidisciplinary outlooks, and substantial potential to operate successfully across all postgraduate career options. ARIES assembles a diverse and integrated training partnership that enables postgraduate researchers to address priority topics in environmental sciences through cutting-edge and world-leading research. The program trains all postgraduate researchers to understand modern methods of data management, interrogation, analysis, and presentation, from bioinformatics to artificial intelligence. ARIES ensures graduates engage with the interfaces between environmental science and societal needs by growing their ability to achieve non-academic impact and effective public engagement.
