Fossil Free Research is a campaign and newly established 501(c)(3) organization to end the toxic influence of fossil fuel money on climate change-related research in universities. It is coordinated by international student divestment and climate justice activists with the support of a wide range of academics, climate experts, and university members.
Fossil Free Research has openings to support university students interested in taking on an FFR-related project (or multiple projects) this summer. It is the responsibility of students to obtain funding from their university that can be used to conduct non-profit work. If this is of interest to you, reach out to fossilfreeresearch@gmail.com and ideally have a proposal for the kind(s) of project(s) you would want to take on!
Examples of proposals include: research into fossil fuel money ties at universities, building on FFR’s latest report, doing press/media and social media work, and developing activist curricula/our organizing training program.
