Programs and Activities

START supports region specific programs and activities through fellowships, training workshops, and training and research institutes to increase the number of scientists in developing countries. The overarching aim is to contribute to research on global change in areas of the world where such access to resources and networks are scarce. It is expected that the research outcomes will further contribute to region and country specific issues of sustainable development. Furthermore, the capacity building efforts foster and maintain collaborative relationships between professors, fellows, doctoral students and other professionals working in the field of environmental science and policy. START frequently announces opportunities for grants and awards pertaining to the various programs. These opportunities are posted and updated on the home page.
