The course has a limited number of vacancies and will take a maximum of 20 participants for Course A and 30 participants for Course B. The target applicants are students and young professionals working in fisheries, aquaculture, and marine environment fields who intend to employ GIS skills in future research, monitoring and management of marine and inland resources. REGISTERED participants of the 5th World Fisheries Congress are encouraged to apply. However, in case of over enrollment, the course coordinating committee will give priority to applicants from developing countries, especially upcoming researchers and students. |
