Microbiology - FEMS Research Grants 2015-2 (€ 4,000)

The Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) invites applications from early career scientists for its Research Grants. Applications must be submitted before June 15, 2015. The grants are meant to enhance European microbiological research by assisting young scientists in pursuing research at a host laboratory. These grants are intended to support travel and living costs of the Grantee only.

The support of the grant is limited to a maximum of € 4,000. FEMS Research Fellowships foster mobility of researchers mainly within the European area. Research visits conducted with a FEMS Research Grant have to take place in a European country other than the fellow's country of residency in Europe or in a country which has a FEMS member society. A limited number of grants can be allocated yearly, at the Grants Board's discretion, for research in prestigious labs outside Europe.

The main mission of FEMS is to advance and unify microbiology knowledge.
