UEG Research Fellowship 2027

United European Gastroenterology

1.
Intention of the programme
With this programme, UEG aims to inspire both young clinical and basic scientists to pursue a career in digestive health, to close a gap in the landscape of research funding opportunities, and to increase interaction between junior researchers and prestigious European principal investigators (PIs). The programme is an excellent opportunity for young talents to take the next step in their scientific careers by carrying out a research project that cannot be developed in their home institution, building their network, and learning new research skills.

NOTE: The main purpose of this fellowship is to support the development of a basic or clinical research project and not the development of clinical skills.

2.
Basic conditions
In 2027, UEG will award two fellowships worth €50,000 each. The grant will be paid to the host institutions and will support the salary, insurance and taxes of the fellow (no overhead costs to the hosting institution).
Fellowships must start by October 2027 and last for 12 months. Applications for shorter projects will not be considered. The participants should get the chance to:
•
conduct research under the guidance of a PI
•
participate in research meetings
•
improve scientific skills (data collection and analysis, scientific writing, statistics, etc.)
•
be included among the authors of the manuscript derived from the project in which they are involved. We encourage candidates to publish at least one manuscript as the first author.
It is the applicant's responsibility to contact potential hosting PIs.
After successful completion of the fellowship, the participant will receive free registration to the subsequent UEG Week 2028 or 2029, depending on the end date of the fellowship. Participants are expected to present the findings of their projects and participate in UEG activities and sessions organised by the UEG Young Talent Group.
Insurance, accommodation, visa, travel arrangements or leave of absence fall within the responsibility of the fellows and the hosting PIs. Furthermore, UEG is not liable for the fellows’ actions, activities, health or safety.
