Students invited to apply for the Marine Institute’s 2020 Bursary Scholarship ProgrammeThe Marine Institute is inviting undergraduate students to apply for a number of work experience placements as part of the 2020 Summer Bursary Scholarship Programme.
In 2020, the programme will offer a number of 8 to 12-week placements for up to 22 undergraduate students. The programme offers students practical experience in the areas of Marine and Freshwater Fisheries, Salmon Ecology, Environmental Data, Aquaculture, Oceanography, Data Visualisation, Benthic Ecology, Marine Chemistry and Marine Communications and a new bursary position linking art and science. The Marine Institute's Bursary Scholarship Programme has been running for over 30 years, providing essential career development and support, and inspiring the next generation of marine scientists and experts. The programme equips third-level students with the skills to become ocean leaders and marine professionals of the future, and is a key initiative of the Marine Institute's new Strategic Plan 2018-2022: Building Ocean Knowledge, Delivering Ocean Services. "As well as strengthening skills and knowledge, the Bursary Scholarship Programme enables students to make informed decisions early in their studies about the marine and maritime careers they would like to pursue. The programme provides undergraduates a unique opportunity to meet fellow students from other universities as well as work with experts in their field helping them form a future network in the marine sector," said Helen McCormick, Senior Lab Analyst and Bursary Programme Coordinator. Successful students will receive a scholarship worth €275 per week, for the duration of the work placement. Bursars will be based at various locations, including the Marine Institute Oranmore Co Galway, Newport Co Mayo and other locations and ports around the country. The Bursary Scholarship Programme is aimed at undergraduates of Universities, Institutes of Technology and National Institutes for Higher Education. To participate in the programme, undergraduate students must have completed two years of study in a relevant discipline by the beginning of June 2020. The Marine Institute is committed to supporting a culture of high performance driven by our people, whose skills, experience and passion for the marine are central to the work we perform for government and other stakeholders.

Project Reference SMYAS15 Project Title Marine renewable energy: Public perception and acceptability Project Summary This project will explore the public perception and acceptability of different marine renewable energy technologies. Supervisory Team Main Supervisor: Dr Thomas Smyth Co-Supervisor: Dr Anna Davidson Project Introduction: Marine renewable energy is a key element of current and future global renewable energy and carbon emissions reduction targets. As the number and size of marine renewable energy deployments increases, so too will interactions with coastal communities. Research from onshore renewable energy has demonstrated that the social acceptability of renewable energy installations is crucial to their success. This project will: identify the communities most likely to be impacted by marine renewable energy; explore the acceptability of different technological options; and analyse public perception around existing projects. Project DetailsThe development of marine renewable energy is instrumental to creating a sustainable and low-carbon energy system. To date, academic research relating to marine renewable energy has largely focused on related technologies, resource assessment and environmental impact. However, as marine renewable energy projects mature and become commercially viable, interaction with a range of communities and stakeholders will increase. Experience from onshore renewable energy demonstrates that public acceptability is critical to project success. This project has three foci: 1) Identifying the communities likely to be impacted by marine renewable energy development 2) Exploring public acceptability of different technological options in conjunction with marine renewable energy stakeholders. 3) Examining public perception of the previous and/or existing marine renewable projects.
