In October 2007, EMBO announced the selection of 18 of Europe’s most talented young researchers as the 2007 beneficiaries of its prestigious Young Investigator Programme. Selected by EMBO Members for the high standard of their research, these new young investigators join a vibrant network of almost 200 scientists. The three-year programme - already with a worldwide reputation for excellence - offers a range of benefits designed to smooth the transition for young researchers setting up their first independent laboratories and developing reputations in the scientific community. Programme participants enjoy benefits not normally available to early career scientists. Lab management and non-scientific skills training as well as PhD courses offer the young group leaders and their students the chance to develop professional skills. Networking events introduce them to recognised leaders in science like EMBO Members and other experts in their respective fields.
