Conservation Research Institute

 

The University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI) was established to support multidisciplinary, cross-Departmental research on biodiversity conservation and the social context within which humans engage with nature. Its coverage is across the collegiate University, and includes researchers based in all six Schools of the University. 

The UCCRI of Management Committee has representatives from all six University Schools, as well as additional co-opted members. The Committee's remit is to support cross-Department and interdisciplinary strategy in research and teaching on biodiversity conservation, and provides governance support to UCCRI.
