Since 1989 MAB has supported young researchers each year with awards in support of their research on ecosystems, natural resources and biodiversity. Through the MAB Young Scientists Awards MAB invests in a new generation of scientists worldwide because well-trained and committed young people are key to addressing ecological and sustainability issues.

The MAB Young Scientists Award Scheme encourages young scientists, in particular those from developing countries, to use MAB research, project sites and biosphere reserves in their research; applicants from developed countries are eligible for Awards only in exceptional cases or if working in joint partnership with developing countries.
