MICROBES Open calls

The main calls for proposals of Microbes support two key initiatives:

- Interdisciplinary internship fellowships for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and engineering students. Funded internships must be co-supervised by two Microbes teams from different disciplines.

- Seed funding for promising fundamental and interdisciplinary research projects, as well as innovative interdisciplinary proposals addressing emerging and urgent societal challenges, such as health and environmental risks.
