HDC Studentship Scheme
The Horticultural Development Company (HDC) commissions horticultural research on behalf of its grower levy payers. Each year the HDC offers up to two awards for postgraduate research studentships. Outline proposals for 2009 will be sought for studentships during Summer 2008 in the following core areas within our Research Strategy:
•Sustainable production of horticultural crops with particular reference to ICM and biodiversity
•Water use efficiency and diffuse pollution
•Energy use efficiency and adaptation to climate change for horticultural crops
•Crop quality, new crop opportunities and human nutritional benefits
•Labour efficiency and mechanisation
•Waste minimisation and management
The funding is comparable with that provided by BBSRC.
When the exact timetable for the 2009 call, including closing date, has been decided this webpage will be updated and the 2009 application pack made available.
