Markus Möst from Innsbruck, one of the seven SeeWandel project partners, has won the prestigious Austrian Research Award “START” for his research on the influence of global change on aquatic ecosystems. This prize is worth a total of around 1.2 million euros and is awarded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. This excellence funding will enable Markus to continue his research in the coming years. In his project “Ecoevolutionary Dynamics – Gene Flow and Global Change” he will continue to work on the questions and topics addressed in the SeeWandel project. The entire SeeWandel team congratulates Markus Möst on this well-deserved milestone.
