Description
The Resh-Rosenberg Africa/Asia Travel Award supports participation in the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) Annual Meeting by freshwater scientists from Africa and Asia. It funds meeting travel for two eligible members, with complimentary registration provided by SFS. Recipients present their freshwater science through a talk or poster and attend the full meeting, rather than receiving support for a separate research project.
Established in 2025 by Vince and Cheryl Resh, the award recognizes the long-term collaboration and friendship of Vincent Resh and David M. Rosenberg. Rosenberg was a long-time Society member, former President, and editor of Freshwater Science for many years.
