European Molecular Biology Organization Opportunities

EMBO Scientific Exchange Grants support international research visits that transfer expertise, techniques or access to infrastructure between eligible laboratories. The grant contributes to the fellow's travel and destination-dependent subsistence costs for visits of seven to 90 days; dependents, bench fees, conference travel, overheads and visa costs are not covered. Applications are accepted throughout the year and must be submitted at least 30 days before the proposed visit, with EMBO recommending at least three months' lead time.

Applicants may be active researchers at any career stage but must have at least one year of graduate-level research experience or equivalent. The standard route supports exchanges between laboratories in EMBC Member States and EMBC/EMBO global partners Chile, India, Singapore and Taiwan; eligible researchers in specified JST programmes may also apply for exchanges to EMBC Member States. Exchanges within the same country, existing or previous collaborations, former supervisors or laboratories already visited are generally not eligible. The applicant must return to the home laboratory for at least six consecutive months after the visit.
