Did you recently graduate at a Flemish university or technical college? Are you proud of your marine (or coastal) thesis? Then you have to apply for the VLIZ Thesis Awards for Marine Sciences 2011! Subscription before the 15th of November 2011.

The aim of this annual prize is to stimulate young researchers in Flanders to perform high quality marine science. Here the laureates of the 2010 edition: Quinten Vanhellemont (top) and Thomas Vandorpe (bottom). © VLIZ (Verhaeghe)

Every year two prizes are presented: one for biological contributions and one for non-biological topics. Fundamental as applied research topics in all kinds of marine science disciplines are welcomed.

Maybe it is your work that will be selected out of the submissions? And it is you who will receive the Award of 500 EUR on the occasion of the VLIZ Young Marine Scientists' Day 2012 on the 24th of February 2012?

More information on the conditions for candidature can be found on the VLIZ website or in the regulations (in Dutch).
