It's what you learn that counts!

Intrepid Explorers is an educational activity run by university students who believe that by sharing experiences and learning from field research, we can inspire current and future generations to support and advance science.  

 

Within the talks, students, staff and guests of participating university departments share their experiences, photos, videos, souvenirs and advice from their research adventures, expeditions and travels. These seminars often offer invaluable advice on how to (or how not to) do fieldwork and/or explore the world, including preparing, funding and surviving the expedition or trip!

Set up Intrepid Explorers at your university:

At Intrepid Explorers HQ we’ve produced a starter pack to help any university student or staff member set up an Intrepid Explorers event/platform.

 

  • Start up pack -4pages covering what it is, what’s in it for you, what’s in it for the university and links to materials to help you run it (tips for speakers, speaker form, chair briefing and branding material)

  •  Preparing the series -3 pages covering what to do to set up the series including draft text for a call for speakers and for formally inviting external speakers
