Overview
Doctoral Programme on Marine Ecosystem Health and Conservation (MARES) is a three-year world-class Joint Doctoral Programme offered by a consortium of 24 partner institutions (11 full partners and 13 associated members) originating from 14 countries. Ghent University (Belgium) is the coordinator of MARES.
The MARES Doctoral Programme was approved for funding by EU in July 2010. First Doctoral candidates will start in the programme from September 2011 onwards. All MARES doctoral candidates will study with two of the partner institutions and will be awarded a joint Ph.D. degree (Doctorate in Marine Sciences). The MARES doctoral programme defines a common foundation in which all doctoral candidates must build on regardless of research topic and institutions.
All MARES doctoral candidates will study with two of the partner institutions and will be awarded a joint Ph.D. degree (Doctorate in Marine Sciences). In connection with the annual call for applications, the MARES doctoral programme will publish a catalogue of MARES PhD research topics within the applied scientific fields of Marine Ecosystem Health and Conservation.
MARES Scientific Scope:
MARES will focus on six scientific and applied fields dealing with the effects of impacts of humans on the natural marine environment. These fields will be fully integrated in a three-year doctorate programme under joint supervision.
1.Future oceans : temperature changes - hypoxia - acidification
2.Understanding biodiversity effects on the functioning of marine ecosystems
3.Biological invasions
4.Natural resources : overexploitation, fisheries and aquaculture
5.Ocean noise pollution
6.Habitat loss, urban development, coastal infrastructures and Marine Spatial Planning
Partner Universities
Ghent University - Belgium (Coordinating institute)
Universität Bremen - Germany
University of Bologna - Italy
Galway Mayo Institute of Technology - Ireland (GMIT)
University of Algarve - Portugal
Stichting Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut voor Zeeonderzoek - Netherlands (NIOZ)
University of Plymouth - United Kingdom
University of Gdansk - Poland
Klaipeda University - Lithuania
Flanders Marine Institute - Belgium (VLIZ)
Université Paris Marie Curie - France (UPMC)
Erasmus Mundus PhD grant
An Erasmus Mundus PhD grant is a grant lasting for 3 years (36 months). With the grant PhD candidates get an employment contract (including social security). The monthly salary will be approximately 1400 euro (depending on the country and institute where the candidate will be employed.
Next to the employment finances an Erasmus Mundus PhD grant also foresees in bench fee money of 600 euro per month (7200 per year). From this budget the following costs are paid:
- Yearly contribution to the MARES fund of 240 euro
- Costs of training course participation
- Costs related to research activities
- Participation costs of conferences
- Enrollment costs at universities
- Participation to the obligatory MARES annual meetings
- Travel costs between host institutions (partner 1 - partner 2) are normally not paid from this budget. The doctoral guidance committee however can decide on this case per case.
Study requirements
A prerequisite for admission is that applicants have a Master degree in Biology, Ecology, Environmental Sciences, Oceanography, Marine Sciences, Marine Biodiversity and Conservation, or other equivalent degrees with a minimum of 60 credits.
In fact a minimum requirement of 240 ECTS combining the B.Sc. and M.Sc. (or equivalent to 4 years of graduate studies with thesis) is eligible.
- Copies of diploma's and transcripts of records
- English language certificates (TOEFL / IELTS / Other University Based test result)
- Copy of your ID card or international passport
