SCOTLAND’S largest salmon producer is teaming up with one of the country’s leading marine science research institutions to help Scottish aquaculture thrive globally.
Marine Harvest Scotland (Ltd) has pledged two scholarships to the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in AquaCulture, Environment and Society (EMJMD ACES) run by the Oban-based Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS UHI) and in collaboration with the universities of Crete and Nantes.
The course gives students the unique opportunity to travel throughout Europe as they learn about sustainable aquaculture. The two-year sponsorship, open to graduates from EU member states, will fund one student per year and includes an opportunity to work with Marine Harvest for a period of six months to complete a dissertation.
