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 the fellows’ home institution, supporting the exchange of knowledge and best practices across institutes.

Key deadlines and important information

Calls for the ERS Short-Term Research Fellowship are currently closed. For information on calls, please refer to the information below.

Call opening:

Application deadline:

Notification of application decision:

Mid-February, 2025

Selecting a host centre

In the quest for potential research institutions, the Web Host Registry proved invaluable for ERS fellowship applicants facilitating the identification of potential host centres. 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 centre remains the candidate’s prerogative.
