EHA Research Mobility Grant

EHA Research Mobility Grants are designed to support the professional development of young scientists by enabling mobility and facilitating a visit to a research group in another institute. Both institutes should have complementary expertise, as this visit is also intended to promote collaboration between the institutes.  

Successful applicants can receive up to €7,500 within Europe and €10,000 outside of Europe to support mobility that can last up to three months.
