Partnerships, Collaborations and Sponsorship
The Trustees of the Foundation make great efforts to create partnerships and collaborations with academic institutions, and, as a result, hope that these will encourage sponsors to be generous towards the Foundation.
These relationship help to give credibility, support, and enthusiasm to the Foundation's work and the teachers participating in the expeditions.
The Foundation has a five year partnership with the Scott Polar Research Institute of Cambridge University to create web based education materials for secondary schools.
Both the Geographical Association and The Association for Science Education collaborate with the Foundation and help with disseminating the results of the expeditions which show as well the effect the experience has on the teachers, our Fuchs Scholars. This is done through a growing number CPD seminars at which the Fuchs Scholars give presentations.
For FFAE2007 the Foundation had a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Portsmouth, Human & Allied Physiology Laboratories, to advance the knowledge of human endurance in the Polar regions. There was also collaboration with the Department of Geography of Sheffield University on glaciology.

This expdition was filmed by Teachers TV at all stages, and there was an Antarctic week in April 2008 when the various teacher programmes that resulted from the filming were broadcast on each day.
Through 2009 and 2010 relationships are being developed with the Prince's Taeching Institute and the National Space Academy, where Fuchs Scholars have participated in seminars.
The Foundation is supported significantly by Antarctic Logistic Expeditions, for which it is most grateful, as it is to all the equipment and supply companies that sponsor the expeditions in various ways.
