Student travel awards from the Bertil Swedmark Fund

For the participation in the 17^th edition of the International Meiofauna Conference, held from 7^th to 12^th of July 2019 at University of Évora, in Évora, Portugal, students can apply for a travel award from the Swedmark Fund.

This fund was originated from a bequest of Dr. Bertil Swedmark, to encourage the study of meiofauna amongst students. Recently the fund is fuelled on a triennial base by the traditional raffle held during the conference gala dinner. Participants are invited to bring souvenirs from their country or from their university or institute and donate them to the raffle. At the conference gala dinner, participants can take part in the raffle and have the chance to win one or more of the souvenirs.

The International Association of Meiobenthologists together with the organizers will be able to provide 10 Swedmark Travel Awards of 300€ to 10 master or PhD students (not limited to IAM members).

Candidates for these awards should provide a motivation letter (max 1 page) and a CV until the 2^nd of May 2019 (17imc2019@uevora.pt). The 10 students with best letters and CV will be awarded. The awarded students should attend the meeting presenting their research by means of a poster or an oral presentation.
