Blue Carbon Academy

Recognising the global demand for scientific training and capacity building, the Blue Carbon Research Centre launched its Blue Carbon Academy in 2025. Working with our global partners, we have been able to offer scholarship funding to early career professionals to join us at the University of St. Andrews for an accredited Blue Carbon Science and Policy summer programme. Find out more information on next year’s summer programme.
