About us
ACCE DTP is a partnership (2019-2028) between the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and York, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), and the Natural History Museum (NHM), providing doctoral training in the biological components of the natural environment and related disciplines. Our vision is to develop motivated, confident and multi-skilled PhD students, undertaking cutting edge research and tackling environmental science questions of global significance.
ACCE+ DLA is a partnership (2025-2033) between the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and York, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), the Natural History Museum (NHM), and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), providing doctoral training across the NERC remit. The breadth and depth of expertise across ACCE+ facilitates innovative interdiscplinary training opportunities. Coherence and integration across disciplines is ensured by a common focus of all ACCE+ projects on addressing globally important questions relating to environmental change.
Both ACCE and ACCE+ doctoral students are supported by the complementary strengths of world class environmental scientists from all ACCE/ACCE+ partners, as well as external organisations from the public and private sectors.
