FEBS Short-Term Fellowships

The FEBS Short-Term Fellowships fund short research visits to facilitate scientific collaboration, advanced training or accessing techniques not available at the applicant’s home laboratory. Fellowships support visits of up to two months (three months in exceptional cases) in a different FEBS country from the applicant’s place of work. Funding is intended to cover a daily subsistence allowance and travel costs. Applications are considered in defined calls each year.

Daily subsistence allowance (€100/day) and travel contribution (€300; additional support in exceptional cases); support for visits up to two months (three months in exceptional circumstances).

Applicants must be scientists who either have obtained their PhD within the past four years or are currently enrolled as PhD students (having at least one published paper as main author is highly recommended). Applicants must be members of a FEBS Constituent Society, be working in a laboratory in a FEBS country, and seek to work in a laboratory in a different FEBS country. Applicants already in the host laboratory are not eligible.

Apply via the FEBS online application system in the stated call period. Applications include a short CV/biosketch, list of publications, a referee contact (referee uploads a letter of support), a two-page research proposal, a host acceptance form signed by host institute, and a dated letter from the FEBS Constituent Society confirming membership.
