Mast-EER: a Masters by Research to advance ecosystem resilience

Living organisms underpin our food, climate stability, and materials – ecological collapse threatens the foundations of civilisation. By pairing advanced monitoring with resilience-boosting interventions, we could halt biodiversity loss and enable people and nature to thrive.

Funding
£500,000
Location
University of Exeter, Cornwall (Penryn Campus)
Cohort size
20 students
Start date
September 2026
Application deadline
31 July

Mast-EER aims to develop a cohort of 20 interdisciplinary ecological scientists who are comfortable working at the edge of what is currently possible.

Supporting communities of responsible innovators who have an authentic ambition to redefine our relationship with nature is precisely the kind of bet ARIA wants to be making.
