Application open for EMBL CPP Fellowships for scientific visitors

Scope of the fellowship

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 2.500 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. 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 funding received by the fellow – as long as all sources of funding are declared to the Scientific Visitor Programme office.
