Education
Supporting Early Career Researchers
Early Career Researchers (master's and PhD students, and postdocs) thrive in our interdisciplinary community, benefiting from our shared space and close links with practitioners.
Many have gone on to high-impact careers in academic research and conservation practice. Our bespoke Early Career Researcher Programme builds transferable skills in areas such as fundraising, policy impact and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Beyond Academic Training
Our training is not just academic. We also support future conservation leaders from around the world by developing the applied skills they need to become effective changemakers for conservation.
We are committed to building on our strong foundation to train the next generation of conservation scientists and leaders needed to address the biodiversity crisis, particularly by embedding transdisciplinary training at undergraduate and doctoral levels.
Building the Next Generation
Our ambition is to build a pipeline of future leaders through:
Collaborative doctoral training
Establishing a permanent collaborative doctoral training programme with CCI partners.
Interdisciplinary undergraduate opportunities
Creating a new interdisciplinary programme for fourth-year Cambridge undergraduates.
Conservation community building
Securing the long-term future of the Student Conference on Conservation Science.
