In addition to the marine research and rescue activities of the charity, CRRU also undertakes a rigorous educational outreach programme throughout the year, and is actively involved with schools, colleges and universities - providing work experience opportunities, internship positions and university project placements for Bachelors, Masters and PhD students throughout the year.
CRRU's residential Summer Field Training Courses are also an excellent way to become actively involved in the charity's work. These are run each year across the summer months from the charity's field base in Gardenstown, near Banff. Throughout the year, the educational team also conduct school visits, public talks, training courses, demonstrations and media work, as part of an extensive community and national educational outreach programme.
