The Graphene NOWNANO Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) was established in 2013 with UK Research Council (EPSRC) funding and is now financially supported by The University of Manchester and industry. Working closely with the National Graphene Institute (NGI) and the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC), based at The University of Manchester, the CDT offers a unique environment to undertake ground breaking research alongside opportunities for innovation and collaboration with industry within the fast growing family of graphene and 2D materials.
The final cohort for this programme has been recruited, explore our new 2D Materials of Tomorrow CDT for exciting opportunities. We are open to industry partnerships and school engagements.
