The training component of the MARES Doctoral Programme is implemented through the MARES Joint Doctoral Training Programme, which aims to offer one coherent training programme for Doctorate candidates in Marine Sciences.

The Training programme is an integral part of the MARES Doctoral Programme. All MARES Doctoral Candidates are obliged to follow and complete the MARES Joint Doctoral Training Programme. However, other Doctoral Candidates are invited to join this training programme as well. A Doctoral Candidate who completes the requirements of the training programme will receive a training programme certificate issued by Ghent University.
Yearly in June/July the MARES Secretariat will publish a training catalogue of a MARES approved training courses. In order to compile the catalogue yearly, a call for training courses will be published within the MARES Network between April and May. Candidates can select the training courses after publication of the training catalogue. Enrolment Forms are published at our website.
Each candidate will be able to register for training courses throughout the year prior to the enrolment deadline of the specific training. Selection of trainings is communicated to the MARES Secretariat and the course organizers. Organization of the payment of participation costs is in hands of the local organizers. The selection of training courses by MARES Doctoral Candidates needs approval by the candidate’s doctoral promoters.
