IMBB collaborates with the University of Crete in Post-Graduate studies providing M.Sc. and Ph.D. candidates with scientific guidance, fellowships, infrastructure, and laboratory space. This collaboration has been running since 1985, and it is highly successful, offering a highly attractive Graduate opportunity to students from Greece.
Currently, IMBB is a full participant in the Graduate Program in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine (MBB), and some of its members also participate in the Molecular Basis of Human Disease, the Graduate Program in Neuroscience, and the Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Program.
Training programmes at IMBB have attracted foreign students and postdocs. Competitive grants from the EU (ERC, Marie Skłodowska-Curie), international (HFSP, EMBO and FEBS), and national (Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation, Greek State Fellowships Foundation, General Secretariat of Research and Innovation) programmes support PhD students, postdocs, and trainees on short visits. IMBB faculty actively participate in international training programmes and welcome Erasmus exchange students. International workshops and summer schools are regularly being organized on specialized topics.
