The MSC is pleased to announce that applications to the student scholarship research programme are now invited.
The £4,000 travel and study scholarship is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students of environmental and fisheries science to further their studies into some aspect of environmental improvement, performance or best practice in fisheries management, or fish product supply chain management.
The research may be a direct study of one particular fishery or a comparative study of fisheries problems or management. Direct linkage to a fishery certified or wishing to become certified by the MSC is not a requirement, although this is an additional point of interest for the MSC.
Applications are particularly welcome for research projects in Asia, South America and the developing world.
Projects must be completed within 12 months of the start date stated on the application form, and the final project report must be submitted within 15 months of the start date.
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 8th May 2013.
