What is a Core Partner?

Rowan Shley Quote

The SSCP DTP has six Core Partners: British Geological Survey, UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew), RAL Space, Natural History Museum, and Zoological Society of London.

Core Partners are integrated into the management of the DTP to steer decision making and strategy.  They also engage through essential skills training, supervision of students, and attend presentation days and the annual conference.  

Having a diverse and active partnership is key to ensuring our students gain the skills, training and inspiration necessary to spur them on as the next generation of environmental experts and leaders.
