The Doctoral Training Network (DTN) is a network of doctoral students whose research aligns with key themes relating to the Hub and Nodes’ research.
The DTN aims to offer a range of training activities, including seminars, workshops, visits, summer schools and student conferences. There will also be opportunities to engage with TAS research projects and industry partners. Membership is open to current PhD students from any relevant academic discipline and institution.

You could also get involved in DTN training activities if you’re an academic or industry partner, by hosting seminars, internships or workshops.
If you’d like more information, please contact our TAS Hub Skills Manager, Alison Tebbutt (A.M.Tebbutt@southampton.ac.uk).
Our DTN Seminars are aimed at doctoral researchers and Early Career Researchers, but anyone from the TAS community is welcome to attend.
