Partnerships

Working with you

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.

If you are interested to work with our academic experts and our talented students and become an ACCE+ Partner, there are a number of ways you can be involved; one route is to be a partner supervisor on an ACCE+ studentship project.

A core principle of ACCE and ACCE+ is to encourage studentships that incorporate genuine collaborations between academics and non-academic, end-user partners. All proposals will be considered that demonstrate clear co-design between an academic or academic supervisory team and a supervisor from a partner organisation. You will be required to evidence this co-design in the ACCE+ application.

If you are an academic supervisor you may want to contact members of our management board here.
