Description
The FENS/IBRO-PERC Exchange Fellowships are jointly run by the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and IBRO’s Pan-Europe Regional Committee. They support master’s and PhD students in neuroscience and early-career postdoctoral fellows based in Europe through goal-directed visits to established European laboratories. The program promotes intra-European mobility and advances neuroscience research and training by enabling researchers to learn methodologies and skills unavailable at their home institutions.
Exchanges should support an ongoing or planned research project and deliver clearly defined, realistic scientific and methodological outcomes. The program also values benefits brought back to the home laboratory, including collaboration, capacity-building, and new methodological expertise.
