Every year VLIZ awards two prizes to reward Master's theses (University or long-type higher education). Both fundamental and applied research topics in all branches of the marine sciences are taken into account. The prizes, amounting to 500 EUR each, are reserved for young researchers who graduated at a Flemish university or high school in the course of the last two years.
There is also the Annual VLIZ North Sea Award 2013. The prize amounts to 1000 EUR and the laureates have to work in and must be residing in a country bordering the North Sea. It is granted to reward a recent original scientific contribution, preferably having relevance to the sustainable management of the area concerned. Studies pertaining to the biodiversity of the local ecosystem are equally welcomed. The contribution has to be of postgraduate or postdoctoral level. Candidates are requested to submit the file before the 30th of November 2013
