Professors interested in taking student groups on academic field trips. Dominica is known for its diverse array of habitats, both on land and under water. It is also the only island of the Caribbean which has a Carib Territory where native Carib peoples live. ITME is the perfect base of operations as it provides a variety of services and all-inclusive packages. This allows the visiting faculty to fully concentrate on the academics and not worry about the logistics of the stay or land-based activities and travels. In addition to full room and board, ITME is able to provide lectures, terrestrial and marine excursions throughout the island and a wide range of guest speakers. Unity College (ME), Earlham College (IN), Bethany College (WV), Indiana University Southeast (IN), Baylor University (TX), and the University of Vienna (AUSTRIA) are among the recent visitors.

Biologists and other researchers interested in marginally explored tropical islands. Dominica is off the beaten path in many regards, including research. Therefore we hope to attract many scientists to Dominica, who can contribute to our understanding of the island's natural resources. ITME can facilitate research trips by providing multiple services as mentioned above, and by assisting scientists in planning efficient and rewarding research trips. Furthermore, ITME can assist visitors in obtaining the necessary research permit. All researchers accepted to stay at ITME must provide ITME with copies of relevant research results and publications. These are to be shared with the appropriate governmental entities in the country.

Upon receipt of the above-mentioned information, ITME will draw up a tentative schedule and provide you with an estimate of the cost of your intended trip. At that point you will work closely with the ITME staff in fine-tuning the trip to your needs.

If you intend to bring a group, we strongly urge you to make your flight reservations far ahead of time. There are limited flights/seats into Dominica and it has happened that class trips had to be canceled due an insufficient number of seats/ late bookings.
