As part of the “Embedding and Sustaining Inclusive Practice in STEM” HEFCE project, the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds is running an inclusive field trip to Anglesey this September. The trip sets out to explore how different technologies can make fieldwork better for a wide range of students.

It is for any undergraduate student studying a Geology (or related) degree at a UK university, particularly (but not exclusively) those for whom fieldwork is a challenge due to mental health, learning, sensory or mobility conditions.
