About the STM

The aims of a STM grant are to contribute to the scientific objectives of EFI and to strengthen the EFI network by allowing early stage scientists and professionals to gain experience of working in a different organization in a different European country or beyond; foster collaboration; and gain knowledge about a new topic, technique, method or tool not available in their own organisations.

The STM has replaced the former Short Scientific Visit (SSV) grants which was available for early stage researchers coming from an EFI Associate or Affiliate Member organization. With the STM grant, networking possibilities are reachable both by scientists and professionals from EFI and non-EFI member organisations. Within the SSV scheme, EFI supported total of 27 grantees during the years 2016-2019.
