Each year, we at w@l Doctoral Research and Training Centre (DRTC), explore new PhD students who have started their study at any faculty at the University of Leeds. PhD students with a potential research title which involved WATER, are welcome to join our research centre. Being a member in our centre is free and it does not mean that your research must include water per-se. You could be from any discipline; meteorology, applied mathematics, biodiversity, flood management, health and sanitation, engineering, environment, biological sciences, history, policy, materials, chemicals, sensors, and more!

The w@l DRTC runs its’ own newsletter, where we write on new opportunities and celebrate members' successes. You can contribute and write yourself! We have our internal competition – the SPRING competition, in which you can earn £500 for your research fund. We even host poster-evening and ~3 networking events per year. We provide assistance in skills and bespoke training.

water@leeds is the largest interdisciplinary research centre in the world!

Come join us. It’s fun and it’s free.
