InterRidge has been successful in its bid for $45,000 from the ISA Endowment Fund. This will support 3 fellowships annually between 2012-14, for early career scientists from developing countries. InterRidge welcomes this support and looks forward to working in close association with ISA to encourage young scientists in their careers in marine research.
