START enables science leadership in Africa and Asia through a network of established partners and new collaborators.

Since 1992, START has launched careers in global change science by providing opportunities for training, education, research and networking to early- and mid-career researchers and practitioners.

We build long term relationships with our program participants, creating the basis for sustained networks, partnerships and impacts that continue well after the initial engagements.

Join us and let’s work together to strengthen science and inspire solutions to address climate change and other critical sustainability challenges.
