The purpose of the MOVE European Mobility Fellowship is to foster collaboration between the members of different European EV Societies and Networks. It offers Early Career Researchers (the applicants) the opportunity to travel to another lab in Europe (the hosts), enhancing their technical skills and expanding their professional networks. 

Fellowship Offer:

• Covers travel and subsistence costs up to €2,000 (excludes bench fees).
• Supports work in a host lab at an academic institution in a different European country for 1-3 months.

Eligibility:

• Open to junior scientists: technicians, PhD students, and early-stage postdoctoral researchers (≤ 5 years post-PhD). Career breaks are considered individually.
• Applicants must be members of GSEV and associated with a European lab.
• The hosting lab's head must be a member of the National EV Society or Network of the host country.
