EACME Visiting Scholarship Exchange Programme

The European Association of Centres of Medical Ethics offers financial support for researchers and students who are moving from one EACME centre to another for their research.

The creation of ties with researchers from differing European countries is especially important for the development of an individual research project of a young researcher. In a unified European context, young researchers have an even greater need for international contacts that will allow them to position their own project beyond national boundaries in an international framework. Through exchanges with colleague-researchers from other European countries, young researchers broaden their personal and scientific horizons, which can lead to an enrichment of their own academic vision.
