EMBO Global Activities promote the engagement with researchers beyond Europe to strengthen mutually beneficial interactions.

Life scientists in countries and regions covered by a formal co-operation agreement receive access to EMBO Programmes, connecting them with researchers in Europe and catalyzing collaborations. 

We currently have agreements with India, Singapore, the Taiwanese National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the National Agency for Research and Development of Chile (ANID), and the Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency. Governments and organizations interested in establishing an agreement are welcome to contact us. 

Some EMBO activities are also open to scientists in countries not covered by a formal agreement. Please check the eligibility criteria in each programme page.
