NZMSS First Overseas Conference Travel Funds (FOCTF) - Due 15 Feb or 15 Aug

The FOCTF grant programme was inaugerated by the members of the society to help young researchers present their work overseas. The society recognises that New Zealand's geographic isolation may disadvantage our researchers. Their work is outstanding and deserves to be disseminated in global venues which, at the same time, allow them to interact with other professionals in order to further our knowledge and their careers as marine scientists.
