The Field School is mainly designed for International University and College students with interest in enriching their knowledge with field experiences of natural and semi-natural ecosystems and their embedded habitats, flora and fauna. The information acquired is expected to be shared by partnering institutions locally and abroad.
Founded in 1995, our center began as a small field station for tropical forest research. Over the decades, we've expanded to become a leading institution for ecological education, offering field courses, research opportunities, and partnerships with universities worldwide.
