Equipment awards

摘要

Aquatec, UK, reports it has launched its second annual Equipment Awards following a hugely successful first year in 2012. The awards are designed to give students and early career researchers the opportunity to use high-tech, commercially established instrumentation for their innovative and original research. Three awards are up for grabs, covering a range of instruments from a temperature and depth logger to a sophisticated, cutting edge acoustic suspended sediment profiler. The awards give a loan of the instrument (varying from six weeks to three months) and a travel grant to allow the results of the research to be presented at a national or international conference. Graduate students and university researchers in the first two years of their first appointment are eligible, and are encouraged to apply for the awards before the 30 April 2013 deadline.
