An update for Defence & Security Mobility DTP students

Nicola and Rachel, with Diana Davis from the National Museum of the Royal Navy, were at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard talking to students on the University of Southampton Defence & Security Mobility Doctoral Training Programme.

We were delighted to share the latest on our HMS Victory testing and analysis work, which is contributing to the conservation of this icon of maritime heritage.

While we were there, we had the honour of meeting Naval Base Commander Commodore Rosenberg, who had been invited to talk about the importance of the defence industry to the UK economy – we were pleased to be scheduled so that he could hear our update.

Funded by the UKRI EPSRC, the Defence & Security Mobility DTP opens up the opportunity for professionals in the defence and security industries to complete a PhD over 7 years, alongside their career and other commitments.

A big thank you to DTP Programme Manager Zara Johnson, who organised this excellent event.
