COST Action ES1104: Arid Lands Restoration and Combat of Desertification - Call for applications
COST Action ES1104 Arid Lands Restoration and Combat of Desertification is organising a training school on ‘Participation-driven Science in Ecology and Hydrology: Implementation of para-ecology in dryland research and restoration’ at the University of Hamburg Botanical Gardens, Germany, from 17-19 February 2014.
The training school aims to explore the role of para-ecologists in the sustainable management of drylands and restoration of degraded land. We particularly welcome applications from people who have experience or are interested in involving local inhabitants in monitoring, research and restoration.
COST Action ES1104 is offering eight places on the training school on a competitive basis. Successful applicants will be offered a maximum grant of €840 as a contribution towards the costs of travel, accommodation and meals. The exact award offered will depend on the cost of travel as this differs considerably across eligible countries.
