Corporate Partnership Programme Fellowships

European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)

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 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.

What is covered

Fellowship of up to 4.000 EUR, depending on the duration of the stay
Provided as reimbursement of travel or accommodation cost upon provision of receipts
Eligible for stay at all EMBL sites in Barcelona, Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Hinxton or Rome
Flexible to combine fellowship with other declared sources of external funding as long as this is allowed by those sources
Support provided to find EMBL or associated housing, or options presented for in the private rental market in support with local Unit/site administrators

Evaluation criteria

Candidates are evaluated by an internal committee of senior EICAT personnel on:

scientific background, excellence and relevance for the training opportunity at EMBL
quality of the proposed project, its clarity of description and extent of expertise between sending laboratory and EMBL host
potential for knowledge, methods/technique transfer and/or access to technology at EMBL not available at sending lab/institution
the opportunity for this fellowship to kick-start a new collaborative project

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.
