Following their attendance at BUC2, Román Aguirre Pérez and Uziel González became interested persuing a PhD within the SAMBa doctotal training centre in Bath. They both applied to SAMBa, receiving offers subject to funding from CONACyT. We are extremely pleased that both Román and Uziel have now been awarded CONACyT international doctoral scholarships and that The Universtiy of Bath have offered to supplement these to match the standard grant value for UK students. Congratulations to both Román and Uziel for this achievement.
