Darwin Scholarship Programme
The UK Field Studies Council are launching the next round of their Darwin Scholars programme, which offers professional conservationists under the age of 35 the chance to spend two weeks in the UK learning basic techniques of biodiversity monitoring and identification, how to communicate biodiversity to a range of audiences, how to develop education materials and more.
The course aims to create ‘better naturalists’ using a range of different kinds of activities, such as training workshops, lectures, meetings with leading UK ecological organisations such as the Natural History Museum and excursions to areas that inspired Darwin.
More details can be found on the UK Field Studies Council website and the deadline for applications is 6 January, 2012.
