The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) 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 programmes at universities in GBIF Voting countries, which includes Ireland.
Graduate students in a masters or doctoral programme at a university in a GBIF Voting Participant or Associate Participant Country are eligible to submit a proposal to the GBIF Young Researcher Award program. This year, the programme intends to make two awards of 4000 Euros each, one to a master’s student and one to a doctoral student.
The closing date for applications is 1st March 2013.
