FAQs

• Are there funds available to pay open access fees?

  

  UKRI are providing limited funds for support with open access charges for in-scope publications that comply with their open access policy. Funds will be made available via the library’s open access team.

• Why research at Liverpool?

  

  Every project within the centre is offered in collaboration with an external partner who, as well as providing co-supervision will also offer the unique opportunity for students to be embedded within the organisation, accessing large amounts of complex data to work on developing non-trivial solutions to complex, real world problems. A large number of events and training sessions are undertaken as a cohort of PhD students, allowing you to build personal and professional relationships that we hope will lead to research collaboration either now or in your future. Graduates from this CDT will have the essential skills needed to become future leaders in data science, be it in academia, government or industry.
