The 2012 call
The HDC typically offers up to four awards annually for postgraduate research studentships.Academic institutions that undertake research relevant to horticulture are eligible to apply. Applicants must be able to clearly demonstrate that the studentship supports the long-term profitability and sustainability of the horticultural industry.Funding is comparable with that provided by the Research Councils UK.
The HDC does not make studentship awards directly to students. Candidates for a studentship should address their enquiries to the institution where they would like to undertake a research degree. Further details are provided in the guidance notes for applicants, which include information on how to complete the application form, the terms and conditions of the scheme, and the timetable for the 2012 call.
The deadline for submission was 09 September 2011 (12:00). The 2013 call will be launched in June 2012.
