Funded training on Restoration in Mediterranean Drylands
COST ES1104 training school on
‘Restoration in Mediterranean Drylands’
The University of Lisbon and the Autonomous University of Madrid will be co-hosting a training school on ‘Restoration in Mediterranean Drylands’, 13-21 May 2015.
This Iberian Training School will focus on drylands ecological restoration and agricultural land management in order to combat desertification through the establishment and management of vegetation. We will provide the students with the scientific basis and practical guidance in field classes for sustainable land use, and we will create and strengthen links between them and established experts. In addition to classroom lectures, there will be practical classes and field trips to apply relevant methodologies for successful revegetation and soil conservation.
COST Action ES1104 is offering 18 funded places on the training school on a competitive basis. Successful applicants will be offered a maximum grant of €1500 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. Please note that the grant will be paid by bank-to-bank transfer after the course has been completed.
The closing date for applications is 17 April 2015.
