ERS Short-Term Research Fellowships

European Respiratory Society (ERS) Short-Term Research Fellowships support early career scientists and clinicians to carry out projects lasting between 1–3 months at research institutions outside of their home country. The programme enables fellows to access and learn research techniques that are not available at their home institution, supporting the exchange of knowledge and best practices across institutions.

Key deadlines and important information

Notification of application decision:

Selecting a host institution

In the quest for potential research institutions, the Web Host Registry proved invaluable for ERS fellowship applicants facilitating the identification of potential host institutions. However, please note that the Web Host Registry, initially designed for RESPIRE4, might not perfectly align with the requirements of the Short-Term Research Fellowship programme. It is imperative to understand that the responsibility for identifying the most suitable institution and supervisor for the application rests entirely with the applicant. In all instances, the choice of the host institutions remains the candidate’s prerogative.
