The 2024 GBIF Graduate Researchers Award is an annual programme funded by the intergovernmental network GBIF – Global Biodiversity Information Facility aimed at fostering innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics. Prizes are delivered to two graduate students—generally one Master’s candidate and one Ph.D candidate.

Deadline: 24 June 2024

This annual programme aims to foster and recognize innovative research and discovery in biodiversity informatics by graduate students whose master’s and doctoral studies rely on GBIF-mediated data.

The 2024 programme will provide a pair of €5,000 prizes recognizing the work of two early-career researchers—preferably, one master’s and one PhD candidate—who receive formal nominations from the heads of delegation or node managers of GBIF Participant countries.

The GBIF Secretariat will announce winners before the 31st meeting of the GBIF Governing Board (GB31) and present the winners’ work at the meeting in Portugal in October 2024.
