Each year we allocate up to 12 fully funded places on our Summer School Programme. This week-long course normally costs £799 but fully funded places are inclusive of all fees, food and accommodation costs. All you have to do is get to and from the centre.

Full details about the application process for funded places can be found on the Summer School pages of the website.

Nominations are invited annually for the Chris King Award for teachers who show “outstanding contribution to geological education”.

If you would like to nominate someone you can do so on this page once the submission process opens during the annual conference in September.

More information about the Chris King award along with previous recipients can be found here.

We all love a field trip. Now they can make us some money too. Send us your best fieldwork photo of this academic year along with an overview of the location and teaching materials that others would be able to use. If we publish yours as a resource for members we will send you a £40 gift voucher.

We are looking for photographs and field trip day outlines for GCSE and A Level trips specifically. Please email photographs and materials to the Secondary Coordinator, r.lawson@esta.ac.uk.

Please don't send use any photography featuring identifiable students under 18 where you don't already have written consent from parents to do so.

We love geology. And we love reading. Send us a book review of fewer than 200 words on any Earth Science themed book and when we publish your review we will send you a £10 book token to help pay for your next amazing read.

Need some inspiration?

We have teamed up with Bookshop.org - there's no better place to find geologically themed reads. They work on behalf of independent UK bookshops, so if you choose a specific shop to support, it will receive 30% of your purchase price. Otherwise the commission is divided equally across the network.
