Dear Marmamers, I am currently drafting a worldwide summary of opportunities for students, graduates and lay people to participate in cetacean research at. Fot this purpose, I am collecting web-addresses of cetacean research institutions and projects which offer the chance to take part in field and other work related to cetacean research. Internship opportunities for non-students, practical and theory courses in cetology and the like are of interest, too. Finally, I am also asking for websites of such organisations which promote research internships. If you are running such a website, I would be very grateful to receive the correct address including the subsites where the intership offer can be found. Please indicate, if the internship, course, etc. is available for students, graduates and/or others or not. Please also note if the internship lasts for days, weeks or months or as a field work for graduates. The results of this survey shall be published in a book. Although I think that in this way your institution will gain some publicity, please confirm that I will be allowed to publish the website address in a book. Thank you very much for your co-operation! Best, Fabian Ritter -- _________________________ Fabian Ritter MEER e.V.
