MARUM Research Award for Marine Science
The MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen awarded the MARUM Research Prize for Marine Sciences annually until 2022. This prize was awarded for outstanding master's (until 2017) or doctoral theses written by young marine scientists at the University of Bremen in the last two years. The prize money of up to € 3,000, which could be split, was to be used as a scholarship and should benefit the scientific goals of the award winner.
The MARUM Research Award for Marine Science was awarded in cooperation with ›Freunde und Förderer des MARUM – Zentrum für Marine Umweltwissenschaften der Universität Bremen e.V. (MARUM-Freunde).
