International Darwin Scholarship 8th-18th August 2008

As part of the Darwin 200 Anniversary celebrations the FSC is launching a Darwin Scholarship course at Preston Montford Field Centre in the UK, located near Shrewsbury– the birthplace of Charles Darwin.

The Scholarship is aimed at young scientists, with the goal to develop “better naturalists” in the spirit of Darwin’s love of nature and observing the natural world.

The Scholarship will focus on three areas

• skills of observation and identification
• skills of recording biodiversity
• skills of communicating biodiversity to different target groups
