Research Exchange Challenge Award 2026
Have you always wanted to learn a new stimulation method, master different analysis technique, or experience how things are done in another lab?
Apply now for the Research Exchange Challenge!
For the first time, the Early Career Researchers Workgroup is launching a new opportunity to support (inter) national
research exchange within the European brain stimulation community. The Research Exchange Challenge is designed to encourage talented early-career
researchers to broaden their scientific horizons, build new collaborations, and gain hands-on experience with new methods, tools, or techniques.
Early-career researchers are invited to submit a proposal for a research visit of up to 6 weeks at another lab. The selected applicant will receive a €2,000 award to support their exchange. The funding may be used to cover travel, accommodation, and other relevant costs related to the proposed visit.
So, do you have a great idea, a technique you are eager to learn, or a lab you would love to visit? This is your chance.
Submit your application by September 30th (23:59 CEST) at the latest.
The winner will be announced during the closing session of ECBS 2026 in Naples, in October.
