The Company of Biologists Travelling Fellowships programme: a commitment to support the next generation of scientists
1Features Editor, The Company of Biologists.
Abstract:
Between 2008 and 2025, four of The Company of Biologists' journals - Development, Journal of Cell Science (JCS), Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) and Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM) - offered Travelling Fellowships of up to £3000 to enable early-career researchers (ECRs) to make collaborative visits to other laboratories. Over the past few decades, these fellowships have enabled researchers within the communities served by the Company journals from all over the world to gain cutting-edge research experience, expand their professional networks and publish their findings - all of which has helped some of the former recipients to set up their own labs later in life. In this article, I trace the history of the Company's Travelling Fellowships scheme, initiated by Development and later expanded to include JCS, JEB and DMM, while also highlighting testimonials from former fellowship recipients and looking ahead to the Company's future plans.
