Description
Invasive Species Queensland (ISQ) offers this award to promote tertiary students’ interest and involvement in weeds, pest animals, and weed and pest animal science in Queensland. It assists students to attend the Australasian Weeds Conference (AWC) or Pest Animal and Weed Symposium (PAWS), contributing to the costs of participating as a student delegate.
The award considers students’ engagement through coursework, research, practical activities and management, including involvement beyond their institution. Selection also considers commitment to the field, the conference’s relevance to the student, and the personal benefits expected from attendance. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply, and ISQ membership is not required.
