It began in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers. In 2006, it ceased to exist independently, becoming part of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Notable past presidents have included Lord Kelvin (1889), Sir Joseph Swan (1898) and Sebastian de Ferranti (1910–11). History[edit] The IEE was founded in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers, changed its name in 1880 to the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians and changed it again to the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1889. In 1980 the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) merged with the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers (IERE), originally the British Institution of Radio Engineers (Brit IRE).

This guide explains how Research Council PhD studentships work and how to apply for one. We’ve also put together a quick list of frequently asked questions about Research Council funding, including new eligibility details for international students. Who are the Research Councils? There are seven Research Councils, all part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Each Council focuses on specific subject areas: If you aren't sure which Council is right for your PhD, take a look at the individual guides linked to above. Bear in mind that Councils sometimes work together to fund interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary PhDs. Research Council studentship, or UKRI studentship?
