The International Ocean Institute offers the

 Elisabeth Mann Borgese Bursary

 under its Women, Youth & the Sea Programme, 2010

Application Deadline:  30th July 2010

The International Ocean Institute (IOI) has established The Elisabeth Mann Borgese Bursary (EMB Bursary) consisting of a sum of USD 5,000 (or its equivalent in Euros), which may be used by the awardee in furthering research studies over the period of a year.

The EMB Bursary was established as a means of demonstrating recognition to the host country of the IOI – Malta – for hosting the IOI Headquarters and providing facilities for staff and offices. The Bursary also constitutes a further recognition and acknowledgement of the role of Prof. E Mann Borgese, founder of IOI, and of her considerable achievements.

The annual Bursary will be awarded to one person/research team carrying out postgraduate studies/research in ocean/marine/maritime related studies at the University of Malta, Malta.  Staff or students are to be registered with the University of Malta Faculties of Science, Laws, or other Faculty, Institute or Centre, where research in the relevant fields is carried out.

The Bursary is financed through the IOI’s Women, Youth and the Sea Programme and the application deadline is the 30th July 2010. At the end of the Bursary period, the awardee is to present a brief/paper of the attainments of the funded research to the IOI. This may be eligible for publication in the IOI's Ocean Yearbook and may also form the basis of a public presentation held as part of the World Ocean Day Celebration of IOI, the following 8th June, or any other occasion deemed appropriate by the IOI.
