Overview

The Ponant Science Expedition Grants, offered by The Explorers Club in collaboration with PONANT, enable scientists to conduct vital research during multi-week voyages aboard Le Commandant Charcot. This initiative supports a diverse range of projects aimed at conserving global landscapes, cultures, and wildlife. Grantees engage with travelers through lectures and workshops, promoting scientific exploration while fostering sustainable practices. With opportunities for collaboration and discovery, these grants play a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge and encouraging environmental stewardship.

The Explorers Club
The Explorers Club is a multidisciplinary, professional society dedicated to the advancement of field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation.
The Explorers Club is proud to support the scientific fieldwork of groundbreaking explorers around the globe — last year our grantees came from 6 continents and 24 countries.
Recipients of these science grants come from a diverse community of changemakers from around the world working to support the mission of illuminating and preserving the world’s landscapes, cultures and wildlife through science and education. The purpose of these expeditions is to advance scientific research while encouraging conversations of conservation as travelers explore new frontiers in search of discovery and a more sustainable future. The role of the science grantee will be to conduct a research project, and engage with PONANT travelers via lectures, workshops and (where possible) inviting guests to partake in sample collections.
