Last Thursday, Halloween's eve, I was awarded the 2019 early career EuroGOOS Kostas Nittis Medal. This medal was established in memory of EuroGOOS Secretary General and strategic leader Dr. Kostas Nittis (1964-2014). Dr. Kostas was an operational physical oceanographer who focused his research on the Mediterranean Sea. This led him to become the chair of the MedGOOS in 2007 and the Secretary-General of the EuroGOOS network in 2012.
The Kostas Nittis Medal aims to support the participation of early career marine scientists in relevant conferences and events. The awardee is thus given a chance to present their research work at relevant events, building a professional network, gaining real life experience and reaching out to potential research and technological partners and/or future employers. So, I'll be in Brussels by the end of the year to pick this award and present my work at the kick-off meeting of the newly funded EuroSEA Horizon2020 project!!! |
