Navigating a STEM career requires finding adequate funding and fellowship opportunities and converting that into successful awards to support research.

IndiaBioscience is partnering with the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO) to present informational webinars about EMBO’s Fellowships and other funding opportunities. The next online webinar in the series, EMBO Webinar on Fellowship and Funding Opportunities, will take place on 8 December 2025 from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM IST.

The goal of this informational webinar is to increase awareness, equip early-career researchers in India with opportunities at EMBO, and facilitate an exchange of questions and answers.

Join us for an informational webinar where Karin Dumstrei, Programme Head will introduce the EMBO postdoctoral fellowships and Scientific Exchange Grant (short-term fellowship), and discuss their eligibility and selection criteria. Jyotsana Singh from BRIC-NCCS will also join and share her experience as an awardee of the EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant.

Whether you are taking your first career steps as a newly completed doctorate or striving for growth in the post-doctoral research journey, this webinar can help with the funding programmes and grants by EMBO, which can help you in your career.

The speakers will share upcoming fellowship calls and processes so that, as an Early Career Researcher, one can submit timely applications and directly address queries regarding eligibility, application processes, selection criteria, and more. You will also meet a recipient of the Scientific Exchange Grants from India and interact with them.
