Dear colleagues,
my name is Matea Jarak and I'm Head of Educational Programs in BIOTA Ltd from Zagreb. We are a small Croatian entrepreneurship with big experience in nature protection and conservation.
Last year we started our scientific program for foreign students in National park Krka, Croatia, with our partners from UK, Operation Wallacea. Main goal of this project is to connect scientist and students from all over the world trough terrestrial and fresh water research using cutting edge methods and equipment. Project was a great success last year, so this year our program was booked immediately.
This year we decided to enroll students from ExYu region that are into terrestrial research. We are inviting you to share our Youtube invitation and application form on your's association sites (website, Facebook etc...) and invite your colleagues to apply. We will choose 6 best students and offer them an 1000 euro grant to be a part of our expedition.
Unfortunately, applications are over in only 2 weeks (1st of June), so we urge you to share this information with your colleagues ASAP.

Application form online doc. HERE
We hope you will be interested for this project as it would help students from your association to connect and to learn and also maybe find international connections for future research.
Please share this info with whom you think would be interested.
Kind regards
