Opportunity to enter the 2009 Riversymposium Young Water Scientist Award is now open to any young scientist currently undertaking postgraduate research on water through any recognized institution within Australia.

The Young Water Scientist Award (YWSA) award promotes excellence in the development of young scientists who are capable researchers, communicators and innovative thinkers.

To recognise postgraduate water researchers, the International Riversymposium will present an award to the 2009 Young Water Scientist at the 12th International Riversymposium held in Brisbane from 21 -24 September 2009.

The International Riversymposium manages this prestigious award, which was an initiative of the Water Forum CRCs.

Postgraduate research students (PhD) who are either in the final stages of their projects or who have submitted their thesis since 1 March 2008 on research topics with a water focus are invited to apply to the International Riversymposium organisers NOW!
