European Molecular Biology Association (EMBO) – Short-Term Fellowship

1 week to 3 months

• The fellowships contribute towards travel costs and subsistence of the fellow but not of any dependents.
• The subsistence rate depends on the country being visited.

• Applicants must be active researchers at any stage in their career with a minimum of one year of research experience at the PhD-student level.
• EMBO Short-Term Fellowships are awarded for research exchanges between laboratories in EMBC Member States, Associated Member States or Cooperation Partners. EMBO Short-Term Fellowships are not awarded for exchanges between two laboratories within the same country.
• During 2017, applications for research exchanges involving Chile and one of the EMBC Member Sates or Cooperation Partners will exceptionally be considered.
• Only in exceptional cases will EMBO Short-Term fellowships be awarded for research visits outside the countries listed above. For such cases, it is essential that a justification be provided why there is no appropriate expertise or technology in EMBC Member States, Associated Member States or Cooperation Partners.
• Applications from outside EMBC Member States, Associated Member States or Cooperation Partners will not be considered.
• Applications for the exclusive purpose of training in a technique rather than as a component of a wider research project, will not be considered for funding.
• 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.
