Ifremer (Institut français de recherche pour l'exploitation de la mer) in accordance with its contract for exploration for polymetallic sulphides signed with ISA on 18 November 2014 is offering six (6) internships to candidates from developing States to participate in the 4th Marine Imaging Workshop 2022. This training will be held over a five-day period in Brest, France from 3 to 7 of October 2022.
The international Marine Imaging Workshops assemble around 100 scientists and engineers from different disciplines to push the boundaries of marine imaging. Biologists, ecologists, computer scientists, end-users and stakeholders discuss the methods and procedures for optimising the ways we harvest information through images. Topics cover everything from the start to finish of marine image analysis: acquisition planning, image collection, processing of images prior to annotation, still/video annotation, the future of annotation, FAIR image data management and much more.
Several topics will be presented and explored during this event:
Candidates must meet the following requirements:
Ifremer will cover the following costs: international airfare (return ticket in economy class); accommodation and meals as well as local transportation in France, if required.
Trainees will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement with Ifremer. At the end of the training, trainees will be required to submit a report to Ifremer and ISA outlining the training completed; the benefits of the training opportunity; the knowledge gained; and how the training will advance their career and or education. Trainees will also receive certificates.
Applications should be submitted by the 30 June 2022 deadline through:
