MARG-II: Awarded to individual scientists for the purpose of sharing or gaining technical experience as well as data processing and manuscript writeup within the WIO region and, where necessary, outside the region.

The deadline for submission of MARG I applications is 30^th March 2013. Submissions for MARG II will be accepted from January to September 2013 while MARG III proposals may be submitted at any time.
