From the impact of environmental pollutants on neurodevelopment to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases and to precision and personalized medicine or the root causes of schizophrenic hallucinations, these are just some of the topics  DompéFoundation fellows are working on. 

As today’s scientific progress often arises from interdisciplinary and innovative studies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and data science, aspiring STEM leaders need a training journey embracing different disciplines and technologies.

That’s why our scholarships and fellowships focus on degrees that embody this forward-looking approach. In the 2023-24 Academic year, the Foundation will support up to 28 students from 8 institutions in Italy and 16 Master’s/Ph.D. students or post-doc researchers in neuroscience in the US in diverse fields.

From the MEDTEC School run by Humanitas University and Milan’s Politecnico to the Master’s degree in Molecular and Medical Biotechnology at the University of Verona, here are all the programs covered by our scholarships.
