The Education, Training and Careers Committee (ETCC) met on 22 November 2011. Items on the agenda included the studentship quota allocation, fellowships, short courses and summer schools, eligibility for STFC studentships and skills development for students.
The Committee provides advice to Science Board and the executive on strategy, policies and programme balance for all aspects of education and training relevant to the STFC core programme including studentships, fellowships, equality issues and career development of early career researchers. The Committee oversees the allocation of STFC quota studentships, the peer review and award of fellowships and CASE studentships and the quality of training provided by these programmes. The Committee meets three times a year and members usually serve on the Fellowships panel at some point during their term.
