The Explore weekend is one you will never forget. If your objective is field research, conservation or adventure, Explore is the place to find the inspiration, contacts and practical advice you need.
The emphasis is on small projects with a research component but anyone planning an overseas expedition or fieldwork is welcome. Even if you don’t have a firm idea for your expedition, then don’t worry, there will be an eclectic mix of people to help you over the weekend.
With over 300 people in the building it is a weekend where new contacts can be made, either in a workshop setting or over a drink in the bar on Saturday evening. Many of these people will go on to help you develop your ideas and plans and we hope, become lifelong friends.
To get the most out of your weekend, here are a few things you can do beforehand:
