Short-term scientific missions
Boost4Bio will arrange six short-term scientific missions (STSMs) with duration 2-4 months of PhD students and post-docs from the ERA Chair Team to the laboratories of collaborating institutions abroad.
Training and career development of Young Scientists
One of the main goals of Boost4Bio is to provide greatly improved scientific training and career development opportunities for young scientists in Greece and in Europe. It aims at promoting continuous training and transfer of knowledge from senior to young researchers and vice versa via organization trainings, workshops, summer schools, expert visits, short-term scientific missions and staff exchanges. Furthermore, the project will perform activities to empower young researchers and promote their career opportunities and leadership skills. Special emphasis will be put on the empowerment of female scientists. Finally, Boost4Bio will take measures to attract more talented international researchers from abroad and contribute to the reduction of the brain drain phenomenon from Greece. All training activities will be announced on the Boost4Bio website.
