About EMBO
EMBO is an organisation of more than 1800 leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences in Europe and beyond. The major goals of the organisation are to support talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulate the exchange of scientific information, and help build a research environment where scientists can achieve their best work.
About the EMBO Global Investigator Network
The Global Investigator Network was launched in 2019 to support life scientists who have started their own laboratories in India, Singapore, Chile or Taiwan. The emphasis of this programme is on creating a local network of young group leaders and strengthening cross-continental connections with scientists in Europe, in particular the EMBO Young Investigators and Installation Grantees.
In 2019, EMBO selected the first nine life scientists to join the Global Investigator Network, including two scientists based in Taiwan. This first group of Global Investigators began the programme on 1 January 2020 and will receive support from EMBO for a total of four years.

• Visiting other research institutions to give a scientific seminar or to plan/continue a collaboration
