EMBO Fellowship Programme

The EMBO Fellowship Programme is a flagship funding programme that supports international mobility of life scientists. It comprises EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships, which provide two-year funding for postdoctoral researchers to conduct research abroad, and EMBO Scientific Exchange Grants, which fund short-term international research visits across career stages. The programme aims to support collaborations, career development, training and networking within the life sciences community.

Two-year research funding for postdoctoral researchers; financial support for short-term international research visits; access to EMBO training courses, networking platform and mentorship webinars.

EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships are targeted to postdoctoral researchers and require international mobility. EMBO Scientific Exchange Grants are available to scientists at all career stages to support short-term international research visits; the majority of applicants are PhD students.

Candidates are evaluated based on doctoral research, publication record and the quality of the proposed host laboratory; applications are submitted to EMBO for peer review and selection.
