Applications are welcome from people at any stage of their career, in any sector, including those working in academia, government, industry, or NGOs. However you must be working in conservation science or practice, and you must be able to demonstrate clearly how coming to Oxford will benefit your career, will enable you to form new and mutually beneficial collaborations with people in Oxford or strengthen existing collaborations, and how it will lead to positive conservation outcomes.
The vision is for this program to leverage Oxford’s research strengths and advantages in terms of access to resources and networking opportunities, to support those working in biodiversity conservation in their home countries to build essential collaborations and opportunities. Visitors will be given vital time and support to, for example: realize the potential of their datasets, design and test their conservation strategies, develop new ideas, attend training courses, network with potential collaborators, and share their knowledge and experience with their Oxford-based peers. This will benefit everyone: the practitioners themselves, researchers, students, and the wider university. Most importantly, it will enable more effective and sustainable biodiversity conservation in the long term, on the ground.
