The EMBO Global Investigator Network supports innovative and creative group leaders producing impactful research in the Life Sciences and who, at the time of application, are within their first six years of setting up their research groups in Chile, India, Singapore, or Taiwan. Global Investigators receive financial support for four years for training and networking activities, providing them with opportunities to form collaborations with scientists in their region and in Europe. They become part of an international network of more than 700 current and former EMBO Young Investigators, Global Investigators, and Installation Grantees. After these four years, they remain associated with the network and have access to some of its benefits. Programme members are selected based on their intellectual independence, originality of their research topic and/or methodological approaches, and whose work will lead to major contributions in their field.
Applications are accepted from candidates who meet the following criteria:
• Applicants should have been an independent group leader for at least one year and for less
than six years on 1 January in the year of application. This means that the applicant should
have obtained the independent status between 1 January 2019 and 1 January 2024 for the
2025 round.
• Applicants must perform research in the life sciences (see EMBO subject areas on page 2)
in Chile, India, Singapore, or Taiwan. International experience and networks are
considered a plus.
• There is no age limit for applicants to the EMBO Global Investigator Network.
• Applicants should have an excellent track record.
• Applicants are expected to have obtained sufficient funding to run their research group.
• Applicants must have published at least one senior author research paper in an
international peer reviewed journal from independent work carried out in their own
research group. Review articles will not be considered.
• Applicants can only be interviewed twice by the selection committee.
