Abstract
To provide a broader education for Operational Research PhD students in the UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funds the National Taught Course Centre for Operational Research (NATCOR). This is an initiative led by six UK universities and includes a one-week, residential simulation module taught for the first time in July 2009. We describe the background to NATCOR, summarize its content and reflect on its further development.
