Aside from the global exposure and enhanced reputation that association with EMBO brings, membership of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme offers a host of other benefits:

Annual meeting
The meeting facilitates networking amongst Young Investigators and EMBL group leaders. All are invited to participate.

Invitation to EMBO member meetings and mentorship by an EMBO member
An EMBO member chosen by the Young Investigator serves as his/her mentor. EMBO provides funds towards an annual visit. The mentor gives advice on a research project and promotes the mentee's invitation to relevant conferences. Initially the mentee invites their mentor for a visit to their institute.
Please read the Travel guidelines and Travel expense claim form.

Financial support of networking with other young investigators
The networking programme supports collaborations between EMBO Young Investigator groups or between EMBO Young Investigator groups and EMBL groups. The collaboration can take the form of visits, student exchange or joint group meetings.
Please send an email to yip@embo.org with a short description of the nature of the proposed collaboration and proposed budget. On completion of the collaboration fill in the required Networking Report Form.
