The ESC Basic Research Fellowship is designed to allow a researcher (not older than 35 years at the time of the application deadline) to spend one year in a European research laboratory (different from their current laboratory). It is open to basic scientists as well as clinical scientists and preferentially seeks to award support for preclinical research projects. One fellowship per year of 25,000 Euros will be awarded to the successful candidate. The laboratory and topic are chosen by the candidate. To be eligible, the current laboratory of the applicant must be different from the host laboratory and it is unlikely that candidates planning to return to a laboratory where they have spent time previously will be successful, except in exceptional cases. Preference will be given to those for whom the award will enable the fellow to learn novel techniques valuable for their future career.
Candidates must have activity in the area of cardiovascular sciences.
Deadline: 1st December 2019.
