Looking back on the VLIZ Young Marine Scientists' Day 2014

Senior scientist Jan Bourgois explained how he gave his research on excercise physiology a "marine twist" by studying the
shocking reality of drowning at sea. Ann-Katrien Lescrauwaet gave insight in the Compendium for Coast and Sea, its newest communication product the Vademecum, and explained what use it has for the public of undergraduates, (post)docs and senior scientists. Six companies participated in the first edition of the marine job fair and got a lot of potential new employees on the floor of their booth.

Young marine scientists had an opportunity to show their scientific results, representing the multidisciplinarity in the Flemish marine research. It was an exciting competition; the audience was asked to vote for the best pitch presentation and poster of the day. Also, the winners of the VLIZ Thesis Award and the VLIZ North Sea Award could show their work to the audience.

All winners, abstracts, posters, pictures, etc. on a row:.
