The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is the United Kingdom’s leading public body for funding and managing research, training, and knowledge exchange in the environmental sciences. Established in 1965, NERC supports a wide range of research areas, including climate change, biodiversity, marine science, geology, and atmospheric science. It aims to understand and predict how our planet works and how human activities impact natural processes. NERC funds research projects, doctoral training programs, and major research centers, such as the British Antarctic Survey and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships with other research organizations, industry, and government agencies, NERC helps to develop innovative solutions to environmental challenges, informs policy-making, and contributes to the sustainable management of natural resources. Its work is essential for addressing global environmental issues and supporting the UK’s environmental science community in producing world-leading research.
