Short visits to EMBO

Short-Term Fellowships gave four molecular biologists vital experience abroad

The European molecular biology organisation’s Short-Term Fellowships are open year-round and support research exchanges of up to three months in labs outside applicants’ home countries, contributing towards travel costs, and subsistence at rates depending on the host country.

One piece of advice to potential applicants comes through loud and clear from four EMBO fellows we spoke to: you need to build up some sort of relationship, however remote, with your host lab before putting in a bid.
