see the news release here:
The EMBO Global Investigator Network was launched in 2019 with the aim to support the next generation of scientific leaders that have started their laboratories in EMBC Associate Member States (currently India and Singapore) or in countries or territories covered by a cooperation agreement with EMBC (currently Chile and Taiwan). The network provides the selected scientists with opportunities to interact with other researchers in the same region and life scientists based in Europe (particulary EMBO Young Investigators and Installation Grantees), allowing for the establishment of new collaborations.
