The ECU Industry Engagement PhD Scholarship Scheme provides a pathway for PhD candidates to link with an industry partner, community organisation or government agency. Candidates collaborate with a partner organisation for the duration of their degree, allowing them to be immersed in an authentic industry experience, developing creative solutions for real-world problems while still receiving guidance on their research from their supervisors at ECU.
We are calling for Expressions of Interest from supervisors and from potential partner organisations. To apply please download, read and complete the ECU Industry Engagement PhD Scholarship Scheme Guidelines for Supervisors and Expression of Interest.
For more information and to submit your Expression of Interest, email the Graduate Research School.
