DICE Awards – Celebrating (Y)our Success!

Professor Goulson's Silent Apocalypse lecture was the perfect celebration for DICE's accreditation from the University.

Stage 3 Environmental Social Sciences student Abbie Cushion attended the guest DICE lecture this year, where the Institute presented exceptional academics and students with prizes to recognise their achievements in 2022.

Recently, The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) achieved Institute status at the University, recognising its high-quality research. In light of this achievement, the guest lecture was also a celebration of the work done within the DICE community, recognising student and staff achievements with awards handed out by visiting speaker Professor Goulson from the University of Sussex.
