Enabling external scientists and students to benefit from new collaborations, technologies and state-of-the-art equipment
Application open for EMBL CPP Fellowships for scientific visitors
Training of the next generation of scientists is one of EMBL’s key missions. The EMBL Scientific Visitor Programme gives excellent young researchers access to state-of-the-art technology platforms and research laboratories at all six EMBL sites.
The EMBL Corporate Partnership Programme has prioritised the introduction of short-term fellowships amounting up to 4.000 EUR to enable junior level scientific visitors to carry out experimental projects with an EMBL host research group, thereby allowing them to build new networks and experience the international and interactive environment at EMBL, in addition to experiencing progress of their own research goals. Fellowship awardees are expected to submit a short activity report after the visit. These fellowships are run by the Scientific Visitor Programme office to provide logistic and organisational support to successful awardees before and during their stay.
The fellowships are designed to act as flexible co-funding, and can be provided alongside any other sources of external funding received by the fellow – as long as all sources of such funding are declared to the Scientific Visitor Programme office in the Application form.
Candidates are evaluated by an internal committee of senior EICAT personnel on:
In addition, already secured funding (where CPP fellowship amounts will top-up to address a gap), funding landscape of home country, and length of stay are considered on final award amount.
Applications are reviewed and final decisions are communicated to candidates within 30 calendar days following each application deadline.
Applications are open throughout the year with deadlines every three months on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
Please apply via Workday with the following documents:
