Application Information
What do you get?
We offer a learning experience like no other: an intricate, hands-on program that provides you with the skillset and knowledge to begin work as the next generation of conservation project managers and leaders. Together with your Frankfurt Spring School colleagues, you will have four weeks of exclusive access to experts in conservation project management, human resources and personnel management, financial management, performance skills, and organizational development (see the program for further details).
When & Where does it take place?
The Frankfurt Spring School 2026 takes place from 23rd February to 20th March 2026.
The course is hands-on and interactive, and thus takes place in-person in Frankfurt. We do not offer digital or hybrid participation.
Do you have what it takes?
Are you a keen team worker with an inextinguishable passion for conservation and the natural world? Here’s what you need to grasp this opportunity:
- Be a graduate student (MSc or PhD) of biology, environmental sciences or a closely related field at a university OR an early career professional in nature conservation
- A good to excellent English proficiency (at minimum B2)
- A strong interest in applied conservation issues
Successful participation in the Frankfurt Spring School will be certified with 7 ECTS credit points.
How much do you pay?
200 Euro (BaföG recipients: 100 Euro), includes the cost of the excursions.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide scholarships or other financial support for participants to attend the Frankfurt Spring School. All other costs associated with participation in the course—such as travel to Frankfurt, accommodation, and living expenses—are covered by the candidate directly.
Participants are responsible for their own insurance.
