Each year the EUROPARC Federation, with support from the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S., awards three Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarships to promising young conservationists, who are committed to working for the benefit of Protected Areas.
The aim of the scholarships is to enhance international cooperation and to advance the quality, innovation and European dimension of Protected Area management.
The Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarship is a great opportunity for young professionals who have chosen to develop a career in Europe’s natural and cultural heritage. The winners of the Scholarship will have the chance to improve their skills and learn from other professionals, by carrying out study visits in European Protected Areas.

• Candidates must be under 35;
• Have a European nationality;
• Be employed by a Protected Area or nature conservation organisation or be employed by an organisation that develops its work in a Protected Area.
