The Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral Research Fellowship Programme for Future Leaders in Immunology (IMMUFELLOW) is an innovative postdoctoral training initiative of the University of Turku (UTU) and Åbo Akademi University (ÅAU) in Turku, Finland, jointly funded by the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) COFUND programme.
IMMUFELLOW supports early and mid-career researchers with three year fellowships to pursue their own immunology-related projects at UTU or ÅAU. The programme combines academic excellence with interdisciplinary and intersectoral training, mentoring, and career development. Fellows benefit from international mobility, industry collaboration, and tailored training in science, technology, entrepreneurship, and research beyond academia. Over 2025–2030, IMMUFELLOW will recruit 22 postdoctoral researchers through open and transparent international calls, with selections based solely on academic excellence.
