In addition, early-career group leaders may be eligible to apply for FEBS Excellence Awards to support research costs.

Most of these schemes are aimed at scientists working within the FEBS area; please see the relevant sections of the FEBS website for full details.

In addition to the opportunities above for early-career researchers, scientists from countries with Hinari (Research4Life) status in the FEBS area, who are members of their FEBS Constituent Society, may be eligible for:

  • Ukrainian Short-Term Fellowships to support research visits abroad
