We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new scholarships programme, fully funding 42 PhD students across the UK through G-Research NextGen.

With a mission to solve the world’s most complex challenges in finance, we are committed to shaping the future of research and innovation. These scholarships will help support the next generation of talent in the STEM community.

“Investing in the next generation of STEM talent is a natural fit for G-Research. The work these students do will shape our field, and we’re proud to help them take on big challenges,” said Katherine Shenton, G-Research NextGen Programme Lead.

To deliver this programme, we’re partnering with some of the UK’s leading educational institutions.
