Dear colleagues,
We are very happy to announce the eighth series of MARS Travel Awards for Young Scientists.

This year one award of 1,000 € and two awards of 500 € each will be granted to promising young scientists to study a research topic at another MARS member institute.

Both institutes must be full members who have paid their dues for 2010, or have announced their intention to become a member from 2011.

The research topic should fall into one of the following themes:

•Marine biodiversity, including taxonomy and ecosystem functioning
•Marine genomics and molecular biology
•Marine model organisms and natural products
•Climate change problems
•Sustainable ecosystems and human factors

After completion of the project an abstract of the results, will be published in extended format in the MARS Newsletter.

Proposals must include a maximum 2 page outline of the intended research, the addresses of the sending and receiving MARS member institutes, a letter of support from the sending and the host institute, and a CV of the Young Scientist (who may not be older than 35 years).

The deadline for proposals is 15 March 2011.
