Marine & Freshwater Research student prize for Best Interdisciplinary Presentation

 

NSW Murray Wetlands Working Group student prize for Best Wetlands Presentation

The MWWG Student Prize is awarded to a student (Honours/Masters/PhD) for the presentation of either a poster or paper that has direct relevance to wetland management, preferably with community involvement. It is aimed at recognising the valuable contribution that such research studies can make to natural resource management and to provide encouragement for students to continue their excellent work.

National Water Commission student prize for Knowledge and Capacity Building

 

To be eligible for a student prize, students;

  • should be current, financial members of ASL
  • must give their presentation within 18 months of receiving their degree (or working towards the degree)
  • can win each of the awards only once. Thus a student who has won the PhD award is no longer eligible for that award but would be eligible to submit a poster for the poster award. A student who has won the honours award would still be eligible for each of the other awards.

The student prizes will be judged by a committee convened by the ASL Executive. Wherever possible, such committees will not contain supervisors or co-authors of candidates for the prizes.
