Leverhulme Scholars

The SMMI Leverhulme Trust "Understanding Maritime Futures" Doctoral Scholarships will address key global issues such as access to resources, safety and security, the effects of rising sea levels, technical advancements and autonomy, our responses to natural and human disasters, the impacts on people, and the ways people living by and from the sea understand their experiences and cultural heritage.  The vision for the programme is to develop transdisciplinary thought leaders and researchers who have a unique human-centred approach to understanding, living, and working with the sea.  The programme aims to facilitate a different, more creative and holistic way of problem solving to address marine and maritime societal challenges.

All SMMI Leverhulme Trust Doctoral scholars are in receipt of a fully funded studentship, for 3 years at Research Councils UK levels, which will cover maintenance and tuition fees.
