The grantees will establish laboratories in Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Poland and Portugal
EMBO announces that ten life scientists have been selected to receive EMBO Installation Grants. These grants support group leaders, who are in the early stages of setting up their laboratories, to strengthen the life sciences in countries participating in the scheme. Two new installation grantees will establish laboratories in Croatia, one in Czechia, one in Estonia, two in Greece, three in Poland and one in Portugal.
“EMBO Installation Grants offer flexible funding, extensive networking opportunities and practical support for life scientists pursuing ambitious research projects,” says EMBO Director Fiona Watt. ”We are delighted to welcome the new EMBO Installation Grantees to our vibrant community and wish them every success in their careers.”
All EMBO Installation Grantees have demonstrated their international mobility and research experience. Five of the ten grantees are female, four are male, and one preferred not to specify their gender.
Each grantee receives 50,000 euros annually for five years. They become part of an international network of nearly 800 current and former EMBO Installation Grantees, Young Investigators and Global Investigators. Further benefits include access to mentoring, training courses, additional grants, e.g., for travel or organizing conferences, as well as to core facilities at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany.
This year’s grants are supported by the Ministry of Science and Education of Croatia; the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of Czechia; the Estonian Research Council; the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation of Greece; the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland; and the Foundation for Science and Technology of Portugal. For the first three years, 35,000 euros of the annual grant are provided by the ministry or funding agency in the participating country and 15,000 euros by EMBC, the intergovernmental organization of 31 member states that funds the EMBO Programmes. The final two years are funded by the ministry or funding agency.
The next application deadline is 15 April 2025. More information on EMBO Installation Grants, including eligibility criteria and the application process, is available here.
