EMBO Short Term Fellowships

EMBO Short Term Fellowships

EMBO short term fellowships fund research visits of up to three months to laboratories in Europe and elsewhere in the world.

The aim is to facilitate valuable collaborations with research groups applying techniques unavailable in their own laboratories.

Short-Term Fellowships are not awarded for exchanges between two laboratories within the same country. Short-term Fellowships are intended for joint research work rather than consultations.

All applications should focus on the benefit to the home laboratory and involve movement between countries – one of which must be an EMBC Member State.

(For non-EU applicants, the Short-Term Fellowships are for a fixed duration of 90 days).

The fellowships cover travel plus subsistence of the fellow only and not of any dependents.

Research Fellowships: Eligibility

 

  • Applicants can be scientists with less than ten years of professional experience since finishing their PhD degree.
  • Applicants can be pre-doctoral scientists who have not yet completed a PhD degree (or equivalent). Candidates with little research experience have a lower priority.
  • Short-Term Fellowships are awarded for exchanges between two laboratories in different countries.
  • All applications must involve either a laboratory of origin or a receiving institute from one of the EMBC Member States.
  • Applications which are presented as a means of training in a technique rather than as a component of a research project tend to receive lower priority from reviewers.EMBO does not consider applications for Short-Term Fellowships to prolong visits begun under other auspices, or as bridging fellowships between, or prior to, long term stays funded by EMBO or other organizations.Applications for fellowships to attend courses, workshops, or symposia will not be considered.

    There is no deadline for applications, however applications should ideally be made about three months before the proposed starting date. Applications received after the start of the visit will not be considered.

    Research Fellowships: Duration of Support

    Short-Term Fellowships are intended for visits of one week up to three months duration. For non-European applicants the Short-Term Fellowships are intended for a fixed duration of 90 days.

    Research Fellowships: Travel Costs and Stipend

    The fellowships cover travel plus subsistence of the fellow only and not of any dependents. The subsistence rate depends on the country being visited.

There is no deadline for applications.
