Our sub-cluster received the fourth-most applications out of 39 clusters</li><li class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

check was completed, we were left with 617 valid EoIs.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt">The IAS Executive met yesterday to consider whether any other sifting was required before sending EoIs to clusters for review. As throughout the process, we agreed to impose as few conditions as possible, to enable the process
to be driven by student quality and demand whilst ensuring we end up with viable clusters. On the latter point, we decided to make one additional ‘cut’ at this point. As we have said throughout, we regard 3 students as the minimum for a viable cluster. In
order to be confident that we will fill the available places, we have made the difficult decision that the 8 clusters that received 6 EoIs or fewer will not move forward as the risk of having fewer than 3 students accepting places is material. Earlier today
I contacted those cluster leads to advise them of this decision and the outcome for their clusters.</span></p>

to study for PGR degrees at Stirling. The clusters that you have worked hard to form are clearly focused on important and attractive research ideas, and we encourage you to keep developing them via the Festival of Research events for each overall theme that
are happening next month and beyond.</span></p>
