Financial support

The South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) offering limited financial support for early career scientists to help cover registration costs.

Limited funds are available from SPRFMO to assist early career scientists (35 years of age or younger or no more than 5 years post PhD), provided they have an oral or poster abstract accepted in one of the theme sessions. Priority for support will be given to early career scientists (including students, postdocs, and other early career ocean professionals) that are nationals of and/or have an institute affiliation in one of SPRFMO Member Countries.

Early career scientist awardees will be selected based on

1) the scientific relevance of their research to the symposium, and

2) consideration of broad representation (including regional, gender, career stage, topical expertise).

Awardees will be notified prior to registration payment.
