RGS-IBG Grants Programme  

Supporting outstanding research

An important way in which the Society develops new knowledge and advances geographical science is by providing funding for geographical research and scientific expeditions. Grants support work in the UK and across all seven continents.

Over 90 grants and in excess of £180,000 are awarded annually to experienced researchers working on cutting-edge projects and to teams of young, passionate geographers who are looking to get out into the field for the first time. Research has been conducted in more than 120 countries, from Namibia to Brazil to Greenland.

The Society does not provide grants for course fees and living costs for Higher Education.

Explore the research and expeditions we've supported and start making plans for your project.
