Emails
Our primary mode of direct communication with students will be through email. Any emails will be sent to student's Imperial email addresses, rather than a personal email account.
It is extremely important that students access their emails on a regular basis as this will be the SSCP DTP's main line of communication during throughout a student's Phd.

The SSCP DTP Google Drive is where students are able to view SSCP DTP related information, useful forms and templates.  

Students will receive a weekly SSCP DTP Newsletter each Thursday with details of events, additional training workshops, internships and funding opportunities. For any updates and contributions to the newsletter, Christiane can be emailed - items submitted before Wednesday at 12pm can be included.

All SSCP DTP activity will be sent to by an Outlook invitation. For all SSCP DTP training and events, students are also required to register via Inkpath unless notified otherwise. Inkpath will be the primary attendance tracker.

News and information will also be available through our Twitter feed and the Cohort’s respective Facebook pages. A brief description of how we will use each is below for information. The Grantham Institute also has a LinkedIn page.

As a member of the DTP cohort, you are expected to follow the Institute’s official branding guidelines. Templates are supplied on the Google Drive and should be used for all presentations, posters and written material relating to your PhD project. This includes any departmental presentations and posters you are expected to produce during your PhD. We would love to see the materials you produce, which should be sent to the SSCP DTP Doctoral Training Coordinator to ensure we have a record of your activities. This will also help us with reporting to NERC on our programme and individual student activities.

Please note that all publications should acknowledge the DTP in your address as follows:

1) Person1; 1 Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet DTP, and the Department of [Civil Engineering], Imperial College London.
