The Belgian Focal Point to the Global Taxonomy Initiative, housed at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in
Brussels, wishes to inform you that on 1 February 2010 it has officially launched its new call for proposals in regard to ‘taxonomic training and access to collections in Belgium’.
With the following web entry relevant information can be found: http://www.taxonomy.be/gti_calls/grants_seekers/outside_be
Applications and CVs can be submitted online until March 15, 2010. Decision on eventual acceptance will be made by 31 March. All selected projects will be carried out between 1 April 2010 and 31 March 2011.
The Belgian GTI Focal Point will give preference to those applicants who need a follow-up visit to Belgium to finalize their taxonomic project started during an earlier call. However, new students will still be accepted.
