🌐 Go Digital with GeneHumdi: Virtual Mobility Grants Now Open!
GenE-HumDi promotes synergistic connections and development of joint tools for the digital era!
The GenE-HumDi Action is excited to announce a new call for Virtual Mobility (VM) Grants! If you are passionate about virtual collaboration and want to help build the next generation of multimedia training materials for genome editing, this opportunity is for you.
Why apply for a virtual mobility grant?
Unlike traditional travel grants, VM grants are designed to support online activities that foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across our network. Whether you are developing a new computational pipeline or organizing a virtual workshop, these grants provide the resources to make it happen.
What kind of projects are we looking for?
We are seeking proposals that align with the Action’s scientific priorities, specifically in these areas:
- Off-target prediction: Tools and modeling for genome editing accuracy.
- Innovative Delivery: Digital modules on LNPs, extracellular vesicles, and delivery technologies.
- Data Integration: Strategies to improve validation and prediction accuracy.
- Capacity Building: Virtual training schools and shared computational resources.
This Call in a nutshell
Max Funding: €1,500 per grant.
Timeline: Activities must be carried out between January and July 2026.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2026.
Eligibility: Open to researchers affiliated with institutions in COST Full/Cooperating Member Countries, NNCs, or European RTD Organisations
