For students who are keen to learn about and safeguard the planet’s most important ecosystems, the TROPIMUNDO Master Programme 2026 offers a transformative educational experience. Applications for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Tropical Biodiversity and Ecosystems (TROPIMUNDO), which is run by the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), are now officially open for the 2026–2027 academic year. For both EU and non-EU students who are enthusiastic about studying tropical biodiversity, ecology, and conservation research across several continents, this top-tier program—which is supported by the European Commission and VLIR-UOS ICP-Connect—offers fully funded scholarships.
TROPIMUNDO is a two-year (120 ECTS) master’s program designed to train the next generation of environmental scientists and policymakers by exposing them to tropical ecosystems worldwide. The program combines classroom instruction with extensive fieldwork in biodiversity hotspots like the Amazon rainforest, Central African woodlands, Madagascar, the Great Lakes of East Africa, the Caribbean, and Asian mangrove and coastal ecosystems. The program seeks to increase scientific knowledge and practical solutions to the ecological problems endangering tropical regions, giving graduates the know-how required for positions involving sustainability and the environment around the world.
