Techne
Partners and Collaboration
Collaboration with a range of external Partners is vital to Techne's vision of doctoral research in which students experience the processes of thinking, making and applying their research. Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDAs) are PhD projects that are co-designed by a non-HEI organisation and HEI supervisory staff. Partner input is integral to the scholarship, emphasising mutually supportive knowledge exchange and professional development between doctoral students and highly experienced staff within our Partner organisations. Up to 20% of Techne students will pursue a Collaborative Doctoral Award.

Students wishing to work with a partner should make an initial approach through their supervisor and Techne rather than contacting the partner directly.
Techne welcomes new Partners. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a Partner.
