The EMBO Global Investigator Network supports independent group leaders conducting impactful research in the Life Sciences who, at the time of application, are within their first six years of establishing their laboratories in Chile, India, Japan, Singapore, or Taiwan.
Please note that there will be no call for researchers based in African countries in 2026.

Global Investigators receive four years of financial support for networking activities, including travel costs, and benefit from training opportunities, support for their lab members, participation in EMBO events, and mentoring. They become part of an international network of more than 800 current and former EMBO Young Investigators, Global Investigators, and Installation Grantees, providing opportunities to establish collaborations with scientists in their region and in Europe.
