The European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) Mobility Award provides financial assistance for collaborative research in a foreign country as part of PhD or postdoctoral research. It supports international laboratory visits that either establish a new, lasting collaboration or develop an existing research partnership. Funding contributes towards travel, living expenses during the visit, and relevant project costs.
The programme prioritises the research plan and the benefits of collaboration for the applicant and their research. Assessment considers academic merit relative to experience and the value of the proposed partnership at the applicant’s career stage. The chair of the ESB Student and Educational Committee appoints a mobility-awards committee to review applications and decide grant allocations.
