Are you one of the next generation of transdisciplinary sustainability researchers?

About TRANSFORM

TRANSFORM is a Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarship Programme that provides a new research training pathway for sustainability science at Warwick, offering 18 PhD scholarships to train a new generation of transdisciplinary leaders who are able to address current and future sustainability challenges.

Our cohorts will be trained in transdisciplinary methods, enabling them to draw on skills from multiple disciplines and work effectively and equitably with non-academic partners to deliver impactful sustainable development research.
