CEH works with government and other public-sector bodies, agencies, voluntary societies, academia and industry and commerce - nationally and internationally.

Long-term monitoring and data collection

CEH is a major collector and custodian of long-term monitoring data and has significant capabilities in data management. The majority of this work is carried out in collaboration with a wide range of partners. Examples include:

Links with the academic community

We work with a wide variety of academic institutions in the UK and overseas. We host a significant number of students, and advertise PhD studentships for UK and international candidates.

We also receive advice from the academic scientists who comprise CEH's Programme Development Group.

The international dimension

We work with a multitude of international organisations, such as the European Space Agency and the Bureau of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. In Europe, CEH collaborates in the science programmes of the European Union, and is a member of PEER (Partnership for European Environmental Research) and EurAqua.
