AIRC Short-term Fellowships

Fondazione AIRC per la ricerca sul cancro ETS (AIRC) is offering Short-term Fellowships, which may be awarded for a duration of one to three months. The fellowships are meant to support young scientists or physician scientists wishing to learn a new technique and/or acquire new skills. Fellowships may be used for short term visits to a cancer-focused laboratory or hospital (“Hosting Institution”) located outside of Italy or, when in Italy, in a different region from where the “Institution of origin” (current affiliation) is located.

AIRC Short-term Fellowships cover mobility costs, including travel, accommodation, and health insurance, if needed, for applicants spending time abroad.

In 2026, the Call foresees three different deadlines depending on the proposed date of departure:

• departures between May and August 2026: release January 12, deadline February 6;

• departures between September and December 2026: release April 29, deadline May 29;

• departures between January and April 2027: release September 1, deadline September 30.

EIC Communities Pitching Sessions

Organised under the EIC Communities initiative, these pitching sessions aim to foster collaboration between EIC beneficiaries and the broader innovation community. A curated set of EIC-funded project teams will present their latest results and outline their needs for further development and partnerships, giving stakeholders a front-row look at some of the most promising emerging innovations in Europe. The event serves as a platform to showcase breakthrough solutions – from clean technologies and advanced industrial applications to novel healthcare innovations – and to encourage active involvement of stakeholders in the projects’ future growth.

Each project pitch will be concise and focused. Every participating EIC project is allotted 5 minutes to present its project, results, and collaboration needs, followed by an interactive Q&A where attendees can seek clarifications or additional details. This dynamic format ensures that in a short span, stakeholders get a rich overview of multiple innovations and the opportunity to interact directly with the researchers and entrepreneurs behind them.
