in 2018 with funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), and has been renewed in 2025 with funding from the BBSRC-NERC Doctoral Landscape Award. It draws together expertise from five universities and nine research centres, as well as over forty other research-users. <a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/about-us/our-partners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Our partnership</a> has a mission <strong>to train postgraduate research students (PGRs) with excellent potential from across society, equipping them with the necessary skills to become <a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/study-with-us/our-training-provision/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">21st Century Scientists</a>: leaders in the science and sustainable business of the natural environment.</strong></p> <p>ARIES has funded research for over 120 PhD studentships since it was formed in 2018, which builds on the success of the EnvEast Doctoral Training Partnership, which funded research for over 80 PhD studentships. Between EnvEast and ARIES we have around 150 PhD graduates, and over 160 Postgraduate Researchers are currently enrolled on the programme and working towards their PhD qualification.</p> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="feature-content"> <div class="grid-container section-content "> <div class="padding-standard blue-green"> <h2>Our Research</h2> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6"> <article class="standfirst"> <p>ARIES聽 is聽 built聽 upon聽 scientific聽 excellence聽 within聽 five聽 overlapping聽 research聽 themes:</p> <p>1)聽<a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/ecology-and-biodiversity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ecology聽 and聽 Biodiversity</strong></a></p> <p>2)聽<a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/marine-atmospheric-and-climate-sciences/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Marine,聽 Atmospheric聽 and聽 Climate聽 Science</strong></a></p> <p>3)聽<a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/geoscience-resources-and-environmental-risk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Geosciences,聽 Resources聽 and聽 Environmental聽 Risk</strong></a></p> <p>4)聽<a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/environmental-genomics-and-microbiology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Environmental聽 Genomics聽 and聽 Microbiology</strong></a>聽 and</p> <p>5)聽<a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/agri-environments-and-water/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Agri-environments聽 and聽 Water</strong></a></p> <p>Each theme is led by experienced Theme Leaders drawn from ARIES Universities and representative research users聽and combine scientific strength to meet the current, emerging and future major challenges across NERC聽 science,聽 both聽 within聽 the聽 UK聽 and聽 beyond.</p> <a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/work-with-us/aries-research-themes/" class="button outline">Find out more about ARIES Themes</a> </article> </div> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6 right-image"> <img src="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Geologist-exploring-caves-deep-underground-155417571_3000x2000.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="feature-content"> <div class="grid-container section-content "> <div class="padding-standard blue-green"> <h2>Our Training</h2> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6"> <article class="standfirst"> <p>The ARIES mission is聽<strong><em>to train Postgraduate Researchers with excellent potential from across society, equipping them with the necessary skills to become 21<sup>st</sup>Century Scientists:聽</em><em>leaders in the science and sustainable business of the natural environment.</em></strong></p> <p>ARIES does this with a combination of mandatory whole-cohort training events, and self-selected advanced skills training courses, across a wide range of topics.</p> <a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/training/" class="button outline">Find out more about ARIES Training</a> </article> </div> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6 right-image"> <img src="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSCF3862-1200x900.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="feature-content"> <div class="grid-container section-content "> <div class="padding-standard blue-green"> <h2>Our DTP Graduates</h2> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6"> <article class="standfirst"> <p>ARIES continues to deliver world-class doctoral research, training and development, preparing our PGRs for a diverse range of careers both within and outside of academia, as well as in policy/government, NGOs, and business.</p> <p>We have recently introduced a biannual magazine for our graduates, current PGRs, and partners as our community extends across the UK and the world and hope to publish our first edition soon!</p> </article> </div> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6 right-image"> <img src="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Picture3-1200x1348.png"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="feature-content"> <div class="grid-container section-content "> <div class="padding-standard blue-green"> <h2>ARIES Organisation</h2> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6"> <article class="standfirst"> <p>ARIES is a large consortium of <a href="https://www.aries-dtp.ac.uk/about-us/our-partners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many different partners</a>, and the management of ARIES is transparent, responsive, equitable and experienced.
