Collaborate with ABG on your European Project

Since 2017, ABG has been labeled as a "Euraxess Career Development Center" by the European Commission. We participate in various types of European projects serving researchers, in which we deploy our expertise around doctoral training, career development, and mobility.

The successful reception of international scientific talent also depends on ambitious European initiatives, such as the Choose Europe for Science initiative led by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). This new initiative, launched in May 2025 with a budget of 500 million euros for 2025-2027, aims to strengthen Europe's attractiveness for international researchers by offering sustainable integration prospects and long-term funding.
