Switching student visa to global talent visa after completing 2 years in PhD

1

Hi All,

I am a PhD student at the University of Sheffield and I am also an ICASE EPSRC-funded student working in the field of civil engineering. I was wondering about the path to switching my student visa to a global talent visa, according to this: Work in the UK as a researcher or academic leader (Global Talent visa): UK Research and Innovation endorsement - GOV.UK where its says:
I need to secure funding and contribute to that research.

My ICase project has the following details:

Funder: EPSRC

PhD title: Development of high temperature experimental methods for validation of novel concrete constitutive models for nuclear applications

PhD Project Reference: 2620388

The Project reference of the overall Doctoral Training Partnership is EP/W522235/1 (see (https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=EP/W522235/1))

Anyone help me with this?

I asked my HR at the university’s, and they said they haven’t heard this and can’t provide me with a letter to apply for endorsement.
