Aquaculture is the fastest growing primary production
sector in the world and presents a great career opportunity for well-trained
and motivated young people. The World Aquaculture Adelaide (WAA14) conference
recognises the value of students, be they linked to industry, research or
government and has a raft of activities and awards to engage and excite them at
this important event.
The Student Spotlight Award recognises the
best short oral presentation based on the abstract submitted. Students will be
selected to present to the plenary audience based on their abstracts.
Conference delegates attending the session will then have the opportunity to
vote for the winner. The presentations are evaluated on scientific and industry
value, scope, clarity and conciseness, and the winner will be well rewarded and
acknowledged at the Presidents Reception.
Additionally there are poster and oral
presentation awards for World Aquaculture Society student members, which are
judged during the event based on strict criteria which includes the discussion
and handling of questions following presentations. All delegates are encouraged
to speak to the poster students about their research during the
event.
Elsevier, world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical
information products and services are sponsoring a Student Writing Workshop
that will be run on 11 June 2014. Gay Marsden, the workshop coordinator,
expects participating students to find the workshop a highly rewarded
experience and will learn much from the presenters who will pass on years of skills
and knowledge at the session.

There will also be a number of informal
networking opportunities for the students including Student Trivia Night and a
special Student Zone within the Trade Show. The zone will feature some work
stations to allow students to stay “connected” to the internet and is
positioned close to the WAS Employment Service booth where they may just find
their dream job!
