COMULISglobe Lab Exchange - Mobility Grant 

We are happy to introduce COMULISglobe Lab Exchange Grants as funding for researchers’ mobility.

The aim of these grants is

1) to visit a laboratory that is specialized on a specific imaging method to learn about this technique and implement it at your home institute

OR

2) you can apply for financial support for travel and accommodation if you were granted synchrotron or Euro-BioImaging time-slots to perform your experiments.

All proposed projects should have a multimodal imaging approach and the proposed working plan should include realistic cost estimate. Travel and accommodation costs can be supplemented via a COMULISglobe Lab Exchenge Grant.

Funding conditions apply and must be respected: A mobility grant for lab exchange usually covers travel and subsistence costs. The financial support granted by a lab exchange grant is a contribution to the costs of the project/mission and may not necessarily cover all the costs.

In general, grants will represent an average contribution to a maximum of 3 000 US Dollars based on invoices from COMULISglobe to the applicant.

Please, note that the mobility grant will be paid to the successful applicants on completion of the labexchange and after evaluation of the final report.
