Early-career researchers in chemistry now have a new chance to expand their international experience. The Chemistry Europe Travel Grant, first launched in 2024 and updated in 2025, offers €2,000 to support research stays of one to two months in another country.

The grant aims to build global scientific networks and help young scientists grow their careers through collaboration abroad. Eligible applicants must have earned their PhD at least two years ago, be a member of a Chemistry Europe society, and plan to conduct research in a country different from their current one.

Applications are open from July until November 1, 2025. To apply, candidates must submit their CV, a motivation letter outlining their project and host lab, and a list of five key publications through their national Chemistry Europe society. Selection will be based on the scientific quality and feasibility of the proposed project.

Among the past recipients is Attila Kormányos, a Senior Researcher from the University of Szeged in Hungary and a member of the Magyar Kémikusok Egyesülete (MKE), who was awarded the Chemistry Europe Travel Grant Certificate. The picture shows Péter Szalay, President of MKE with his certificate.
