The University of Roehampton, London, is part of a consortium group called TECHNE that has recently been awarded a doctoral research training partnership grant of over £13 million, creating 176 doctoral studentships over the next 5 years. Expressions of interest in these funded doctoral studentships are therefore welcome from potential PhD candidates at the University of Roehampton, London. Details of how to submit expressions of interest are included in the attached flyer, although potential applicants are also asked to email a brief document (c500 words), outlining their proposed area of research and indicating the names of any academic staff with whom they have been, or plan on being, in discussion. This should be sent to [log in to unmask] as soon as possible. Supervisory teams will then be identified for the potential candidate, and the teams will then work with the applicant to develop a formal application for the TECHNE scholarships. The University of Roehampton, London, is in partnership for TECHNE with Royal Holloway, the University of Brighton, Kingston University, the Royal College of Art, the University of the Arts, and the University of Surrey. Roehamptons Graduate School has set up an institutional website, where further information about the studentships, subject areas and so on can be found: <http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/Courses/Graduate-School/TECHNE-AHRC-Doctoral-Training-Partnership> http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/Courses/Graduate-School/TECHNE-AHRC-Doctoral-Training-Partnership / In addition, there is a TECHNE website, hosted by the University of Brighton available here: <http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/techne> http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/techne The scholarships were advertised in *The Guardian* last week and applications are now 'live'.
