International Ph.D. Scholarship in Risk Management Strategies in Fisheries Management at University of Southern Denmark and Tilburg University

University of Southern Denmark and Tilburg University (Denmark)

An International Ph.D. Scholarship is available at the Research school Centre of Fisheries & Aquaculture Management & Economics (FAME), a joint scholarship between University of Southern Denmark, Esbjerg and Department of Economics, Tilburg University, Holland.
