Talk:Doctoral Training Centre

Untitled[edit]

should we really have all our names on this entry? Does it add to the page, and this info can be gotten from the website?

I agree. The names of the students, who noone has heard of and who are part of the centre for a few years only, are not relevant to communicating information about what a DTC is. There are many of them across the UK, and the names of those at this particular centre are not of interest outside its walls. I also note that this article is rather centric to the Oxford laboratories. This needs to be fixed, but I've been struggling to find a proper, generic definition of a DTC anywhere on EPSRC's website. -Splash^talk 17:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little concerned about what almost amounts to advertising of a few DTCs here. We want people to know about the DTCs, but the real estate in the article should be fairly apportioned. I'm inclined to reorder the list alphabetically, and perhaps to drop the "Examples" section - what do people think?DrSethBullock (talk) 17:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know what a DTC was till I read this article, but I actually found these examples helpful in understanding what DTCs are. ComputScientist (talk) 11:19, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The advertising is far too blatant. Even some of the DTC "examples" talk about "our" projects! 94.174.3.71 (talk) 23:20, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of all EPSRC centres[edit]

Would it not be better to have a full list of ESPRC DTCS accredited universities and then followed by examples of some centres? It seems a little promotional in parts.

Out of date information[edit]

The first paragraph of the 'Examples of EPSRC DTCs' section refers to the Chemical Biology Centre which no longer exists (it became the Institute of Chemical Biology) and also the London Cancer Institute (which was merged into the Crick Institute). Nearly all of this text is found in an identical fashion on this EPSRC website: https://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/students/centres/pre2013/lsi/ Not sure who copied who. I work at the The Institute of Cancer Research and we are not sure if we even have a connection any more to the CBC (now ICB).
