As part of the mission and commitment of ISAP to promote and contribute to the education of a young generation of scientists and engineers dealing with Algal Biotechnology the society has decided to allocate funds annually to support training courses in algal biotechnology.

Who can apply? Any member of the society who holds a permanent job in a research or teaching institution and can demonstrate experience in teaching and organisation skills.

In general, the course should last at least 5 working days. It may consist of lectures and practical work. The support is not aimed at organising a workshop or highly specialised discussion groups.

This call is for support of a course to be held during 2025.
