The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, in collaboration with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the British Government, is pleased to offer six UNEP-WCMC Chevening Scholarships in Biodiversity, beginning in October 2006.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to spend a year at the Cambridge-based Centre, where they will work alongside our experts to build the knowledge base on biodiversity. They will provide information products and services to decision-makers ranging from UNEP to international environmental organizations to the private sector.

As with all Chevening scholarships, candidates are expected to be of a high academic calibre. Applicants for this prestigious award will be expected to prove their commitment to a future working in national and regional policy development and resolving biodiversity–related challenges.
