FEMS (Federation of European Microbiological Societies) is focused on promoting excellence and equality in science, specifically in the field of microbiology. It aims to contribute to solving societal issues through funding research, publishing scholarly journals, organizing cooperative projects, and partnering with various organizations.
The Research and Training Grants, previously known as FEMS Research Grants, are designed to support early career scientists. They aim to finance research and training at a host institution in Europe, different from the scientist's own country of residence. Exceptionally, it can also support projects outside Europe. These grants primarily cover travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs associated with the research visit.
