The Action Research Center (ARC) is an academy reimagined.

In the scrappy spirit of a startup, ARC has designed a new collaborative model for researchers, activists, and policymakers from across the globe, combining academic inquiry with creative problem solving for measurable impact. The ARC is rigorously focused on translating research into action, bringing advocacy to life through partners in media, entertainment, politics, business, and nonprofits. This approach brings together the private, public, and social sectors to create meaningful change.

Fellowships are academically robust, with scholarly writing and peer review processes, and at the same time, are focused on translating research into action to move forward changes in policy and practice through sophisticated advocacy strategies and publicly accessible campaigns and communications, including media releases, digital content, and multimedia assets. 

The scale of the climate crises demands unconventional partnerships, innovations, and solutions from communities, technology, business, universities, governments, and individuals and energized global movement to drive solutions forward. Planet Reimagined Fellowship groups work on focused themes to develop those new solutions across disciplines and build the vital climate leadership skills that the movement needs. 

Planet Reimagined Fellowships attract 1000s of candidates from more than 80 countries.
