Established in 1966, the Fellowships Programme has gained an excellent reputation due to its rigorous selection process. The success of the programme is due the excellent involvement from the Fellowship Committee, EMBO members and Young Investigators who volunteer each year to assess candidates and proposals. Through the international exchange of persons, knowledge and skills in life science research a new network of scientists has been formed and the EMBO family expanded.
