About the event

Join us on Monday 24th April as we launch our new farmer-funded doctoral training programme in partnership with Queen’s University, Ulster University and AFBI.

AgriSearch is funding three new PhD studentships with the overall objective of improving the profitability and sustainability of the ruminant livestock sector in Northern Ireland. The training programme aims to support the development of a new generation of applied research scientists with a sound knowledge and understanding of the science needed to improve the competitiveness of Northern Ireland’s dairy, beef and sheep industries.

At our launch event for the programme in the Dunadry Hotel on Monday 24th April we will be revealing the details and research areas of each studentship, as well as hearing from alumni who completed previous AgriSearch-funded PhDs.
