Description
Bayer Foundation’s scientific fellowships help students undertake international research projects, internships, and other defined placements that complement their current or future studies. The program aims to develop scientific skills, new perspectives, and relationships across borders. It supports work in drug discovery, agricultural science, medical sciences, and the effects of climate change on health.
Fellowships can support compulsory degree components, additional research stays, training in techniques relevant to a student’s research, access to specialized facilities, and internships between a master’s degree and a PhD program. Projects must be specific placements rather than full master’s degree programs.
