Nippon Foundation Fellowship for PhD study at UBC

The ‘Nereus – Predicting the Future Ocean’ Program is a new research program, established in cooperation between The Nippon Foundation and The University of British Columbia. The program will develop scientific capability for predictions of how the future global seafood production may develop, and of what we as a society can do to impact that development. The program builds on international networking between scientists to communicate and bring about change to how we exploit the oceans in order for our children and grandchildren to enjoy seafood and experience a healthy ocean.

The Nereus Program is based at the Fisheries Centre (www.fisheries.ubc.ca) of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver BC, Canada, and involves close cooperation with other scientific organizations, initially in North America and Europe. We are proud to announce that Audrey Valls has been accepted to fill the Nippon Foundation Fellowship for PhD studies at UBC.
