The SUPER Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is committed to working with our students, project supervisors and partners to promote and enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); aligning with the values of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI):
“Everyone has a right to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be provided with opportunities to flourish and succeed in a supportive environment.” (UKRI Strategic Prospectus 2018)
