Profile

OUEC exists to help improve knowledge of our world through overseas exploration by members of Oxford University, as well as running a programme of talks and workshops in termtime to inspire people and help them plan expeditions. Expeditions are typically centred on research of some variety, for example ranging from discovering new species of amphibians in the Andes to monitoring marine parks in the Moluccas.

Please see our web site for membership details.
