Short-term Fellowships
Deadline for Applications: April 1, October 1 and December 1, 2008
Are you are interested in funding for a Training or Research Fellowship but don't want to wait until next year? If yes, then the ERS Short-term Fellowships are for you. Our Short-term Fellowships are designed to comply with the subsistence rates and there are 3 deadlines per year to submit applications. A decision can be expected 2 months after the submission deadline. It simply is the fastest and easiest way to carry out research and training in 2008.
ERS/AIMAR (Italy) joint Short-term Fellowships are now also available (4 Short-term Fellowships per year). The qualifying candidate may be from Italy going to another European country or from Europe or overseas going to Italy. To apply for a joint Fellowship with AIMAR, please use the same online application form as that for the other ERS Fellowships. In addition, you should send a copy of the application to AIMAR along with the cover letter (to be downloaded from the online application). AIMAR will review the application and if selected will send a recommendation form to the ERS.
Visiting Professorships
This programme is funded by the ERS with the objective of enabling senior investigators and clinicians, who are in the established stages of their careers, to conduct short exchange visits in hospitals and university departments, in order to promote co-operation in the field of respiratory medicine.
