Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarships 

- CALL FOR APPLICATIONS -

In 2008 the EUROPARC Federation will award three Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarships - formerly known as European Travel Scholarships - to promising young conservationists with practical experience in the field of conservation and in the work of protected areas. The scholarships will enable them to undertake a study visit to one or more protected areas in another European country and to gather experience which will be of benefit in their future careers. The awards will each be worth EUR 3000,- and are being generously donated for the twelfth consecutive year by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation in Hamburg (D).

They will be presented during the EUROPARC 2008 conference in Romania.

Applications for the 2008 awards are requested. Candidates should either be current students of conservation or have completed their studies in a related field within the last 10 years, and should be under 30 years old. In addition, people who have been active for many years in or employed by a European protected area and who are not older than 35 years, can also be considered. Applications with a short c.v., description of the candidate's experience in conservation and/or protected areas, and his/her proposed study visit plan should be sent by Saturday 31 May 2008 at the latest to EUROPARC Federation, Kröllstrasse 5, Postfach 1153, D-94475 Grafenau, e-mail: office@europarc.org.
