The partnership between Durham and Zaporizhzhia comes as part of a national initiative between Universities UK and the Ukrainian Ministry of Education to offer support to Ukrainian universities caught up in the ongoing war.
Professor Sir Philip Cohen is among the most honoured scientists in the UK, having received nine awards worldwide. As he celebrates 50 years of working for the University of Dundee with the launch of a new charity to support PhD students, we look back at his illustrious career.
The programme will see four students embark on individual PhD theses at the university. Each PhD is fully funded by Leeds Trinity, and students will also receive a stipend to financially support them during the programme. The students have been matched to expert research staff from across the University for the duration of the three-year programme. These staff have extensive professional experience as active researchers and leaders in their fields. These include Professor Mark Russell, who is currently leading interdisciplinary research examining ways to enhance the performance of professional team sport players with a focus on substitutes and half-time protocols; Dr Martin Barwood who is leading research to reduce the incidence of death by drowning; Professor Jane de Gay, who is an expert in literary, cultural and intellectual heritage; and Dr Susan Elmer, who specialises in research in social work and social care.
