Hundreds of academics have signed a letter calling on the UK’s biggest funder of PhDs to reverse its decision not to give thousands of researchers any extra time or funding to complete their degrees, despite the impact of the pandemic.
In the letter, 770 academics said support would protect research and teaching that would be “needed as the UK and the world recovers from this crisis”.
