Funding
First Overseas Conference Travel Fund from New Zealand Marine Sciences Society. The First Overseas Conference Travel Fund (FOCTF) was established by members of the Society to help young researchers present their work at an overseas conference. The Society recognises that New Zealand’s geographic isolation can disadvantage emerging researchers. Outstanding research deserves to be disseminated in global venues and events, and researchers must interact with other professionals to further their knowledge and careers as marine scientists. The FOCTF was established to achieve these goals. The number and value of awards allocated following each of the two application deadlines will be at the discretion of the council, and dependent on available funds. The award may not be made if there are no suitable applicants. Awards for conferences in the Pacific (including Australia) will not exceed NZ$1500.Deadline August 15 2026
