RESEARCH SUPPORT

The Academy supports research through travelling fellowships and through conferences that focus on rapidly developing fields of research. There is also an award for the research on the conservation of endangered vertebrate species.

We also recognise distinguished research performance by scientists. There are awards for early-career researchers under 40 years and for career reseachers for life-long achievements. Some awards are offered biennially.
