Grants

Our independent travel grants support challenging and inspiring geographical journeys and expeditions all over the world.

We support a range of field and desk-based research projects, from established researchers undertaking cutting edge fieldwork to early career academics working on smaller projects.

Every year we support over 40 student fieldwork projects, from PhD students collecting data for their dissertation to groups of undergraduates looking to get out into the field for the first time.

Grants to support school fieldwork and expeditions, and innovation in teaching geography at secondary and higher education level.

Projects we support cover a range of geographical topics, from volcano monitoring, to adaptations to climate change, to farmers' rights issues.

Guidance and resources for applicants and recipients.

We have a range of donors who have supported the grants programme this year, and in past years.

The expertise of external screeners allows us to review hundreds of grant applications every year.

The grant reviewing process is essential in enabling funding organisations to support those they set out to help, as well as having benefits for applicants and reviewers.
