Marine Science and Technologies

Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages
for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July
2026 they end the hosting service.
Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another
provider, which means the base URL changes from
https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/.
The current page can now be found here.

Marine Science and Technologies

Marine science and technology research areas are contained in the Marine Science and Technologies (MAST III) (1994-98) Work Programme. The general objective is to foster the scientific knowledge and technological development necessary to understand how marine systems function at basin scales, in order to prepare for sustainable use of the oceans consistent with the management of marine environmental quality and to determine their role in global change.

Areas Covered

1. Marine Science: 1.1. Marine systems research
1.2. Extreme marine environments
1.3. Regional seas research
2. Strategic Marine Research: 2.1. Coastal and shelf seas research
2.2. Coastal engineering and natural defences
3. Marine Technology: 3.1. Generic technologies
3.2. Advanced systems
4. Supporting Initiatives

Selection Criteria

In addition to the general criteria indicated in the Information Package, the MAST program requires that

applications should be self-containing research projects feasible in the time of duration of the fellowship;
applications can be, but do not need to be, links to MAST funded projects. If linked to a MAST project, the application should not be part of the work done withing the project but a compliment to it.

Types of Grants

Grants for training

For post-graduate researchers (category 20)
minimum 6 months, maximum 2 years (no extention is possible under any circumstance);
For post-doctoral researchers (category 30)
minimum 6 months, maximum 2 years.
Return Grants (category R)
maximum one year.

The above text is taken from the Information Package of the Fourth Framework Programme (1994-1998) of the European Union regarding the Research Traning Grants scheme.
