Dear Heads of Department,

The 2025 opportunity to apply for funding to host an STFC Summer school 
is now open and live on the UKRI funding funder. Please see the link below:

https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/funding-for-short-courses-and-summer-schools-in-2025/

STFC’s Education, Training and Careers Committee (ETCC) conducted a 
review of the summer schools in 2019 and recommended supporting the 
following fundamental schools from the core budget:

  * UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Introductory Course in Astronomy
    for New Research Students
  * British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary
    Particle Physics (BUSSTEPP)
  * STFC Introductory Course in Solar and Solar-terrestrial Physics
  * UK Nuclear Physics Summer School
  * STFC High Energy Physics (HEP) Summer School.

Recent feedback from students and members of the STFC community has 
supported a request for schools (in addition to the above) in the areas 
of *planetary science* and *advanced astronomy*. STFC would like to 
reiterate that bids for courses in these areas are most welcome, in 
addition to other innovative courses within the STFC remit.

Your short course, summer school or online training resource must:

 1. be aimed primarily at *STFC-funded* PhD students
 2. cover core research activity supported by the STFC studentships
    programme

The STFC studentships programme covers:

  * astronomy
  * solar and planetary science
  * particle astrophysics
  * cosmology
  * particle physics
  * accelerator science
  * nuclear physics

Should you have any questions about the opportunity or assessment 
process, please contact us at studentships at stfc.ac.uk

Kind regards,

Sian
