FENS/IBRO-PERC Exchange Fellowships

International Brain Research Organization

Directed at PhD students and early post-doctoral fellows based in Europe, the FENS/IBRO-PERC Exchange Fellowships Programme aims to foster and broaden the scope of their methodological training by supporting goal-directed laboratory visits in established European laboratories.

Fellowship Specifications:

Both the home and the host laboratories should be located within Europe
The fellowship must involve a change of country (i.e. the host laboratory should be located in a different country than the home laboratory)
The fellowship should be concluded in a maximum of one year from the time the grant has been awarded
The eligible items in terms of requested budget relate to travel (economy class) and housing; items such as insurances, samples and equipment, groceries, cosmetics or similar are not eligible
The report associated with the completed fellowship should be submitted no later than 3 months following the conclusion of the laboratory stay
Candidates may only submit one application, for one fellowship, at one host laboratory during each round of applications.

Funds may be used for travel and local expenses during the laboratory exchange. Funds will be transferred according to a 60:40 format, meaning 60% of the grant will be awarded at least 2 weeks in advance of the fellowship, and the remaining 40% upon completion of the exchange and submission of the associated grant report.
