PhD Scholarship Find Studentship in Innovation,UK

Subject of study: innovation
Employer: Nottingham Trent University
Level: Doctoral
Scholarship description: The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University has an ambitious development strategy that allows us to offer an excellent opportunity for a scholarship for doctoral studies. The scholarships pay UK / EU fees and provide a maintenance bond in connection with the rate of RCUK (£ 13.590 per year for 2011/12) for up to three years. While there is a need in place to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of buildings in the introduction of innovative products and processes to support this need seems to be relatively low. There seems little interest in the supply chain to encourage innovation without regulation.
Compared to manufacturing investment in research and development in the construction industry is relatively small and seems largely to the efforts of manufacturers in product improvement are limited. Although it appears a growing number of impressive value and innovative products and / or processes are developed, it seems the degree of integration of these products is limited in new buildings. Many of these products relate to the work normally by specialized companies that have limited access to or discussion of the design team made ​​for a project.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 April 2011
