EUROPARC strongly believes that young people have a vital role to play in caring for Europe’s natural heritage. The future of protected areas relies on the young generation taking an active and informed role.
Each year, the EUROPARC Federation, with support from the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S., awards three Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarships to promising young conservationists, who are committed to working for the benefit of protected areas.
The aim of the scholarship is to enhance international cooperation and to advance the quality, innovation, and European dimension of protected area management.
While there are many opportunities for students to get scholarships to improve their skills abroad, there are few for those who have already entered the working world.
The aim of this scholarship is to give the opportunity to those young professionals that have chosen to develop a career in protected areas, to improve their skills and learn from other professionals by carrying out study visits to protected areas across Europe.
The Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarship is a great opportunity for young professionals who have chosen to develop a career to our natural and cultural heritage.
The winners of the scholarship will have the chance to improve their skills and learn from other professionals, by carrying out study visits in European protected areas. The call is open to all young professionals working in topics related to protected areas in Europe on the conditions that candidates:
- Are under 35.
- Have a European nationality.
- Be employed by a protected area or nature conservation organisation, or be employed by an organisation that develops its work in a protected area.
The deadline for applications is May 3, 2020, at 2pm Irish time. Interested applicants can find out more here.
