Call for Proposals
As part of InterRidge’s mission to promote interdisciplinary, international, collaborative studies of oceanic spreading centers, we invite proposals for two 2008 InterRidge Student Fellowships of up to $3000 US each. These new fellowships are designed to encourage international collaboration on any aspect of ridge-crest science by students (undergraduate and graduate), fostering long-standing partnerships for their future careers. These fellowships can be used for any field of ridge-crest science. In particular these awards are encouraged to be used for international cruise participation, international laboratory use, and adding an international dimension to students thesis work.
