2015 GBIF Young Researchers Award: call for nominations

The GBIF Governing Board has established the Young Researchers Award to foster innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics by graduate students who are deploying GBIF-enabled data in master’s and doctoral studies. 

Graduate students must be enrolled in a masters or doctoral programme at a university to be eligible to submit a research proposal to the GBIF Young Researcher Award programme.  Students must apply through and be nominated by a Head of Delegation (HoD) of a GBIF Participant country. The list of GBIF Participants is available at: http://www.gbif.org/contact/directoryofcontacts. 

This year, the programme intends to make two awards of 4,000 Euros each, one to a master’s student and one to a doctoral student.

The deadline for submissions of proposals is 3 March 2015.
