The CERMO-FC graduate scholarships offers to students of CERMO-FC members the opportunity to initiate research work related to the advancement of knowledge on the mechanisms or treatments for orphan diseases (OM). In addition to ensuring the transmission of knowledge and therefore the next generation of research in OM, the CERMO-FC aims to support graduate and postgraduate students carrying out their research project in the laboratory of a member of the Center, and thus serve as a leverage effect for obtaining major external research grants.
