Onderzoek

Wat?

The Ernest du Bois Prize (which can amount to 20.000 euro) supports the work of young researchers in Belgium around the theme of water (resources, availability and management).

 The Prize aims to encourage students who are involved in the academic world to engage with problems surrounding water availability in Belgium and in the world and to give this issue greater visibility.

The prize amounts to up to €20.000.

Wie?

This call is intended for all young students who are conducting their doctoral research on the theme of water and its availability in Belgium or throughout the world. This theme must be the principal theme of their research and not only a complementary aspect of their research mainly devoted to another theme.

The doctoral study has to tackle challenges such as water availability for human populations (Belgian or throughout the world), resource exploration, characterization and/or protection, pollution issues, water treatment techniques...

The PhD students must be engaged in their doctoral research for a while. They must be officially registered for their PhD at the latest in the year prior to this call and defend their thesis in a Belgian university at the earliest in the year following the year of this call. They must have published at least one peer-reviewed paper.

The Prize will cover the costs which have to be done to complete their PhD.

The application form is only available and must be filled in in French or in Dutch, even though the doctoral research itself may be written in French, Dutch or English.

Candidates have to provide a complete list of publications in the candidate's name. In this regard, the candidate must have published at least once peer-reviewed paper.
