Application for 2020 MAB Young Scientists Awards

Since 1989 the Man and Biosphere Programme of UNESCO has been supporting young researchers each year with awards of up to US$ 5,000 in support of their research on ecosystems, natural resources and biodiversity. The MAB Young Scientists Awards targets young researchers carrying out interdisciplinary research in line with UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. 

Deadline for applications : 13 December 2019.

Priority is given to projects carried out in biosphere reserves, which contribute to the achievement of  the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It aims to encourage young scientists, in particular those from developing countries, to use MAB research, project sites and biosphere reserves in their research. 

Criteria

  • To be eligible, award applications must be made on the MAB Young Scientists Award application form (in English or French) and follow-up technical requirements stated there.
