DTP 2020-2021 Open University

开放大学(OU)的战略目标是发展我们大规模的外部研究和博士培训伙伴关系的数量和意义，并最大限度地利用产业资金。因此，OU的DTP拨款(8个学生名额)将连同其他拨款来源，资助合共14名新的PGR学生(2批7名学生)如下：2个DTP奖学金将转为2个个案奖学金；3个DTP奖学金将转为6个“产业协作”奖学金；3个DTP学生名额将转为6个“其他协作”学生名额。DTP拨款将与科学、技术、工程及数学学院(STEM)的研究优先次序保持一致，特别是在以下四个学科领域：物理、普通工程、数学科学和信息技术、系统科学和软件工程。这些从战略上确定的研究实力和增长领域将直接受益于PGR活动的增加，这将有助于加强这些领域的学科和多学科研究的健康。研究生院亲自和虚拟地支持PGR的社区建设活动。一个定制的VLE，研究生院网络，提供在线研究人员发展培训，支持PGR社区活动和在线交流。OU的培训实力来自于我们在学术和非学术背景下的公共参与和沟通方面的国际知名专业知识。DTP PGR将有机会直接向世界领先的体育冠军学习。OU的使命是“对人、对地方、对方法和想法开放”。我们通过为所有希望实现他们的雄心和发挥他们的潜力的人提供高质量的大学教育来促进教育机会和社会公正。这一使命贯穿于我们的学术研究和合作伙伴关系，在这些领域，参与式研究是OU战略的一部分。我们寻求共同设计我们的研究，并通过积极参与研究过程，与我们的行业和外部合作伙伴产生影响。我们将发现型研究与最终用户知情项目相结合的方式意味着我们的PGR毕业生将处于有利地位，成为未来的研究领导者，适合21世纪在学术界、工业界或政策界的职业生涯挑战。开放大学促进教育机会和社会正义的使命，加上我们对平等、多元化和包容的承诺，支撑着我们的PGR招生政策和做法，提供公平、透明和具有竞争力的遴选过程。该奖项将由STEM DTP管理小组监督，该小组将包括DTP负责人、STEM研究副院长和来自每个学科领域的代表。以下程序将用于邀请潜在DTP项目的主管和潜在DTP学生的申请者：EPSRC内部呼吁为每个队列转交研究项目：DTP管理小组将根据选择标准对潜在项目进行评估。一旦获得批准，这些项目将作为招收每一批学生的基础；为每一批学生招收高素质学生：招生将遵循大学PGR的招生政策和程序。DTP学生名额将同时刊登广告，以吸引国内和国际上最优秀的候选人参加所提供的项目。DTP学生名额将在各种招聘数据库和以下OU网站(http://www.open.ac.uk/postgraduate/research-degrees/how-to-apply/doctoral-training-centre-studentships)上刊登广告，以吸引国内和国际上最优秀的候选人参加所提供的项目。有关EPSRC DTP奖学金的更多信息，请联系(Research-Degrements-office@Open.ac.uk)。

The Open University (OU) has strategic objectives to develop the number and significance of our large-scale, external research and doctoral training partnerships and to maximise the leverage of industrial funding. Therefore, the OU's allocation of DTP funding (8 studentships) will be used, in conjunction with other funding sources, to support a total 14 new PGR students (2 cohorts of 7 students) as follows: 2 DTP studentships will be converted into 2 CASE awards; 3 DTP studentships will be converted into 6 "industrial collaborative" studentships; 3 DTP studentships will be converted into 6 "other collaborative" studentships.DTP funding will be aligned with research priorities of the Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), specifically within the following four discipline areas: Physics, General Engineering, Mathematical Sciences and IT, Systems Sciences and Software Engineering. These strategically identified areas of research strength and growth will directly benefit from an increase in PGR activity which will help to strengthen the health of both disciplinary and multidisciplinary research in these areas.The Graduate School supports community building activities for PGRs in person and virtually. A bespoke VLE, the Graduate School Network, provides online researcher development training and supports PGR community activities and communication online. An OU training strength results from our internationally-acclaimed expertise in public engagement and communication across academic and non-academic contexts. DTP PGRs will have the opportunity to learn directly from world leading PE champions. The OU's Mission is to be "Open to people, places, methods and ideas." We promote educational opportunity and social justice by providing high-quality university education to all who wish to realise their ambitions and fulfil their potential. This mission flows through to our academic research and collaborative partnerships, where engaged research is part of the OU's Strategy. We seek to codesign our research and deliver impact with our industrial and external partners by actively engaging them in the research process. Our approach of combining discovery-research with end-user informed projects means that our PGR graduates will be well placed to become tomorrow's research leaders fit for the challenges of a 21st century career in academia, industry or policy.The Open University's mission to promote educational opportunity and social justice, coupled with our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, underpins our PGR recruitment policies and practice which provides a fair, transparent and competitive selection process. This award will be overseen by a STEM DTP management group that will include the DTP lead, STEM Associate Dean for Research and representatives from each discipline area. The following processes will be used to invite potential DTP projects from supervisors and applications from potential DTP students: An internal call for EPSRC remit research projects for each cohort: Potential projects will be assessed by the DTP management group against the selection criteria. Once approved these projects will be used as the basis to recruit each cohort of students; Recruitment of high calibre students for each cohort: Recruitment will follow the University's PGR recruitment policies and processes. DTP studentships will be advertised concurrently in order to attract the highest calibre candidates, both nationally and internationally, for the projects on offer.DTP studentships will be advertised on various recruitment databases and the following OU website (http://www.open.ac.uk/postgraduate/research-degrees/how-to-apply/doctoral-training-centre-studentships) in order to attract the highest calibre candidates, both nationally and internationally, for the projects on offer.
