UM Student Research Awards
Unitas Malacologica has been supporting student research since 2000.

Student research awards are offered in years when there is no World Congress of Malacology. Up to three awards of up to €1500 will be made each year for projects taking up to 12 months. One letter of recommendation from the student's research mentor should be sent directly to Dr. Yasunori Kano (kano@aori.u-tokyo.ac.jp). The deadline for submission of this form and letter of recommendation is 30 April 2023. Awards will be announced by the end of May 2023.
