The 2025 Fellowship offers comprehensive funding support, including daily subsistence allowance (DSA) during travel for training, round-trip flight tickets to training locations, travel and health insurance, a laptop and internet allowance, and visa fee coverage.
Over the course of two years, participants will gain valuable theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in biomanufacturing and R&D, with a strong emphasis on a chosen area of specialization. In addition to technical training, the program will also develop participants’ skills in leadership, mentorship, management, enterprise resource planning, and entrepreneurship.
