Applications have opened for the Fully Funded Scholarships in the UK at Swansea University. Interested candidates can apply until 28th February 2020. The name of the scholarship is Biosciences / Aquaculture: Fully Funded KESS II MSc by Research Scholarship.

• This scholarship is part-funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social Fund (ESF) convergence program for East Wales.
• The creation of Multi-use buildings in urban settings is rapidly gaining popularity as a means to regenerate city centers.
• However, developers are often using outdated and energy inefficient systems resulting in building with a high carbon footprint.
• The Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Research (CSAR) at Swansea University has developed expertise in finfish aquaculture, aquaponics and in culturing a number of species of algae that can be incorporated into fish feeds.
• This project, therefore, seeks to use waste products generated by urban farms such as roots or the stems of aquaponics plants and combine then with microalgae produced from waste nutrients from fish aquaculture.
