Objective The EMBO Fellowship Programme supports international mobility and exchange in the molecular life sciences. Renowned for its attention to scientific excellence, the programme has funded thousands of talented young scientists since its establishment in the 1960s. EMBO Long-term Fellowships support advanced research and training, awarding funds to postdoctoral scientists for research visits between European countries or when justified worldwide. Since 2001, the demand for EMBO Fellowships more than doubled, illustrating the increasing high demand for trans-national mobility and postdoctoral training in the life sciences. This proposal will outline how co-funding of EMBO Long-term Fellowships will positively contribute to the further development of the ERA.
