We are looking to fund scientific research primarily conducted in rural and/or remote locations which fall under the following themes: forest, mountain, ocean and polar. Although proposed fieldwork should be away from the urban environment, applications which include fieldwork in both rural/urban locations are welcomed.

If your researcher application is successful, we will connect you to funding to support the fieldwork component of your project. Our aim is to place more researchers into the field to get required data which is often logistically difficult and expensive.

Your research needs to incorporate an aspect of climate science under one or more of the four themes listed above. Ideally, it would have a link to the impact of climate change on our environment on either a local or global scale. Please get in touch if you are unsure whether your project fits within our climate brief before applying.

We support any climate research with a clear fieldwork component. This can include, but not limited to, the fields of: biochemistry, biology, botany, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, oceanography, physics, oceanography and zoology. Please get in touch if your climate research falls outside of these general fields but are still interested in applying.

No, however we ask that you are currently directly involved in a climate science project with an academic institution, government, or foundation. You do not have to be employed by them but your research must be linked to the above institutions.

Yes, we will only fund expeditions involving climate research. Non-research based trips, e.g. trips for-profit, or simply the adventure are not eligible for funding.

Climate scientists applying with the aim to join an existing expedition to the same region to support you logistically or operationally are eligible to apply (e.g. mountaineering trip) however your key objectives and outcomes must be focussed on climate science and collecting data for your research.

You can apply for project funding or register as a researcher at any time. We are always keen to connect funding to climate researchers.

Please contact us if project gets funded elsewhere or if it changes in scope. If additional funding is still required, we will keep your application on our database and keep you informed of any other relevant funding opportunities.

If your expedition is not finalised but clear on scientific outputs, then please fill out the application form with all available information. It might be that an opportunity comes along that will be useful for your research even though your fieldwork plans aren’t yet finalised.

We are looking to support the fieldwork component of your climate research. You are welcome to get in touch to register an interest, however researcher applications are only eligible for funding fieldwork planned.
