Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities, who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research programmes. Research is supported by students who join the programme, to strengthen their CV or resume, gain course credit, or collect data for a dissertation or thesis.
Undergraduate students have the opportunity to join expeditions as Research Assistants, and have the opportunity to work alongside a range of research projects by gathering primary data.
If you’re planning on going to medical school, their Expedition Medicine Experiential Course allows undergraduate students to provide medical support to teams working on expeditions in remote areas with training in the form of formal lectures as well as mentorship by doctors.
