Objective

Eureka Institute aims to develop a community of translational medicine professionals equipped to inspire and catalyze the application of discoveries for the benefit of human health. This is done through:

Education:

Consists of a range of educational activities such as international (The Certificate Course), in silica (e-learning) and regional (Eureka Workshops) activities.

Building Community:

To develop the expanding network with the goal to build a community of translational professionals that will be fully equipped to promote the development of true translational studies

The Eureka Institute is supporting a reciprocal research exchange involving interested translational scientists and laboratories within the Eureka international network. The aim of this research exchange program is to provide tangible means of developing the Eureka Network through meaningful interactions for the advancement of Translational Medicine (TM) through translationally-oriented research.

The scope of the initiative is purposely kept broad, to allow the maximum latitude possible in conceiving and executing each specific experience. The proposed research can either be part of an existing program or be entirely novel.

Funding Details

Funding quantum is capped at EUR€5,000 with the flexibility in using the funds to support the proposed research.
