Description
PROBio-Africa is a joint fellowship programme of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), and the Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (FASBMB). It connects African PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and new researchers with established scientists in Europe and neighbouring regions that have FEBS Constituent Societies.
The programme supports thesis research, experiments requiring techniques or expertise unavailable at home, scientific collaboration, and advanced training. By providing access to well-established laboratories and international research experience, it aims to strengthen skills, scientific cooperation, and molecular life science capacity at African home institutions. Preference is given to applications establishing new collaborations.
