Andrea Taylor and Barbara Summers - linking CDR to the new UNRISK Centre for Doctoral Training

Dr Andrea Taylor and Professor Barbara Summers are Co-Is on the new UNRISK NERC Centre for Doctoral Training. This centre, Understanding Uncertainty to Reduce Climate Risks, involves University of Leeds, University College London and University of Exeter, and will train students with the multidisciplinary knowledge and skills across climate science, data science and decision science to tackle the pressing challenge of reducing the risks associated with rapid climate change. UNRISK will fund 40 PhD students in cohorts of 12-15 per year over three years, providing them with a stipend, university fees and residential training for three years and nine months. 

The deadline for applications to the first cohort is 13th January 2025 (see https://cdr.leeds.ac.uk/news/unrisk-cohort-1-applications-open-deadline-13-01-2025/)
