EJP RD Research Mobility Fellowships

EJP RD Research Mobility Fellowships 

As part of its educational activities, EJP RD runs a Research Mobility Fellowship Programme dedicated to young researchers in the European Reference Networks

The first round of applications was concluded successfully in July 2020. Out of 16 applications received, the Scientific Evaluation Committee selected six outstanding applications by fellows from Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, and the UK. The exchange visits involved research units from the following ERNs: ERN-RND, EURO-NMD, ERKNet, eUROGEN, ERNICA, and ERN-Eye.

Calls 2 and 3 were successfully concluded with 9 and 17 funded research projects, respectively. In Call 3 (spring 2021), exchanges between ERNs and non-ERN institutions were allowed, and the duration of the visits was extended from 3 to 6 months. The fourth was launched in winter 2022 and included 17 successful applicants from 20 eligible. 

Call 5 took place in spring 2022 where 16 fellows were selected out of 21 eligible applications.

The final fellowship call 6 was concluded in Autumn 2022 and resulted in a total of 31 eligible applications, out of which 26 were selected for funding

All proposals were evaluated by the Scientific Evaluation Committee (SEC) that is composed of three WP17 leaders, three independent external scientific experts, and one representative of the EJP RD office.
