Applications for the EMBO Installation Grants Programme Continue

European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Installation Grants was founded in 2006 by the EMBO Strategic Development Installation Grants Chair under the leadership of Türkiye. EMBO Installation Grants provide multi-year funding for principal investigators to establish and grow their groups in participating countries. A total of 149 young researchers benefited from the grant between 2007 and 2024; 42 of them chose Türkiye to establish their labs; which places Türkiye in the top among the participating countries.

EMBO Installation Grantees receive an annual grant of 50,000 euros for three to five years. 35,000 euros of the annual payments are provided by the funding agency in each participating country and 15,000 euros are provided by EMBC. Grantees can also apply for additional small grants of up to 10,000 euros per year from EMBO.

Recipients of an Installation Grant are integrated into the EMBO Young Investigator Network. As a result, they benefit from the extensive networking opportunities and practical support this programme offers.
