Third Darwin Scholarship Programme: Monitoring and Communicating Biodiversity

Third Darwin Scholarship Programme: Monitoring and Communicating Biodiversity (13-23 August, 2010)

The Darwin Scholarship Programme has been running since 2008. Over 40 people from 25 countries have attended. Feedback from the programmes have been tremendously positive
In 2010 we will be running the third Darwin Scholarship Programme. We are now inviting applications for the 25 places that are available.

The scholarship programme is aimed at…
Young Scientists from around the world, probably working for an non-governmental organisation, government department or in a Biology or Ecology faculty at University. You should be under the age of 35 and studying at graduate or post graduate level or be a young lecturer or work for an environmental organisation.
The aim of the Darwin Scholar Programme is to develop “better naturalists” in the spirit of Darwin’s love of nature and observing the natural world. The Scholarship will focus on three areas - skills of observation and identification - skills of recording biodiversity and skills of communicating biodiversity to different target groups
This is a unique opportunity to work with leading scientists and educators in the UK and will be based in Shrewsbury - a beautiful historic English market town and the birthplace of Charles Darwin.
