Early-career researchers, doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scientists can take advantage of a range of international programmes supporting scientific training, research mobility and career development in the life sciences.
The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) offers a broad portfolio of online and in-person training courses covering bioinformatics, genomics, data science, structural biology and other areas of computational life sciences. The programme is designed for researchers at all career stages who wish to develop new skills and stay up to date with rapidly evolving research methods.
The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) provides a wide range of funding opportunities, including fellowships, research exchange grants, leadership programmes and career development initiatives. These schemes support international collaboration, scientific mobility and the professional growth of researchers across the life sciences.
Among EMBO’s flagship programmes are the Postdoctoral Fellowships, which support outstanding researchers undertaking postdoctoral projects in a country different from where they obtained their PhD. Fellowships are awarded for up to two years and include financial support, relocation funding, career development training and access to the global EMBO Fellows network. Applications are accepted throughout the year, with the next deadline on 10 July 2026.
Researchers interested in scientific networking and interdisciplinary collaboration may also consider participating in EUtalentON Brest 2026, the European competition and networking event for young researchers. The programme brings together talented early-career scientists from across Europe to work on interdisciplinary challenges, develop transferable skills and establish international collaborations.
