University Field Course
The Danum Valley Field Centre provides an ideal venue for training in tropical ecology, geography, conservation and natural resource management - we currently host regular field courses from several leading UK, European, American and Australian universities.
Danum can accommodate groups of over 60 students, has a large teaching lab and an audio/visual-equipped lecture theatre. SEARRP can offer full in-country support to visiting universities including:
- Pre-course planning and advice
- Travel arrangements - this can include flights to Sabah from Kuala Lumpur or other regional hubs, flights within Sabah (Kota Kinabalu to Lahad Datu) and vehicle transfers to Danum Valley
- Transit hotel reservations in Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu (or other regional hubs)
- Room reservations and other arrangements at Danum Valley
- Fieldwork support - including use of our team of research assistants
- Teaching input - especially in the fields of forest management and conservation
- Arranging excursions to other field sites/venues within Sabah
- Health and safety training and emergency planning and back-up
