Guidelines for Funding Research

Every two years the IWC’s Scientific Committee recommends a series of research projects for Commission funding. The majority of these projects are directly related to supporting the work of the Scientific Committee, although there is a limited opportunity for the Committee to consider projects which arise outside of the requirements of its sub-committees.
