Charles Darwin and Galapagos Islands Fund

The Fund has been established to promote research and collaborative educational projects between the University of Cambridge and the Galapagos Islands.

Postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students registered for a Master’s degree or PhD at the University of Cambridge are eligible to apply for grants to undertake research on the Galapagos Islands that will be of practical benefit to our understanding of the nature of these unique islands. The programme of research must be undertaken in collaboration with the staff of the Charles Darwin Foundation.

During the first year of the scheme grants of up to a maximum value of £1000 will be considered and applications are encouraged without reference to a deadline.  The Committee will hold its first meeting in July 2010 to evaluate submissions.
