Education and Resources

We work across all levels of education to engage young people with geoscience, and provide a wealth of useful educational resources to support this. Our University Accreditation Scheme provides a benchmark of quality to university qualifications, whilst our community initiatives enable the wider geoscience community to get involved in supporting and promoting the education of our future geoscientists
