Tasmanian Marine Science Fellowships: Overseas study grants for early career scientists
In 2006 the Tasmanian Government, the University of Tasmania and the Embassy of France in Australia have jointly created an Award in the field of Marine and Antarctic Sciences. This program enables early career researchers, currently working or studying in Tasmania, to travel to France to undertake study missions to acquire a specific training or qualification, strengthen cooperation and expand international networks and gain recognition for their work.
