Past experience supporting grant-winning students conducting fieldwork in Ecuador

We provide comprehensive support for students undertaking short-term fellowships or field-based research in Ecuador. From helping them adapt their research to the local context to connecting them with key local actors — such as academics, grassroots leaders, NGOs, and indigenous communities — we make sure their projects are meaningful, well-informed, and logistically feasible.

Pre-departure trainings

In addition, we offer virtual planning sessions and pre-departure trainings to support the design and implementation of each project. Understanding that timelines, travel, and budget constraints can vary, we adapt to the needs of each applicant — sometimes taking on a larger role in coordinating or executing site-based components to ensure project success on the ground.
