We run a formal set of Programmes with individual pathways for students. Some students follow a work experience pathway, some students follow our Charitable Trust Pathway, some students follow an academic pathway working on our academic publications and journal and some students follow a publishing pathway.

In 2026  we are particularly keen to hear from prospective students to help with academic and other conferences or fund raising activities. We especially want students who want to change the world, change economics or improve biodiversity or halt the tide of climate change.

Our students care about the world we live in and about other people and other creatures and tend to be innovators in one way or another. They tend to be doers and thinkers usually with a slightly unusual multiple aspect or interdisciplinary cvs and are from all walks of life and often think about poverty and also how economics doesn’t really work today. We walk the talk and our team is very diverse in every aspect.

If you are a change-maker or see yourself at the forefront of innovation, or if you like writing or speaking or attending or running conferences, love nature or wildlife – have an international perspective, and are inclusive and caring then this may well be the study programme for you. Please email today for more details. info@greeneconomicsinstituteeducation.org
