- CRP Research Grants to support the establishment or upgrading of new laboratories and research lines in the two countries, particularly in the fields of health, sustainable agriculture, industrial biotechnology and renewable energy.
- Meetings and Courses to organise scientific events in the two countries and promote participation of their researchers to ICGEB international scientific meetings.
- Three Fellowships schemes to support training and skills enhancement of researchers from the two countries:
- PhD Fellowships (UPDATE: deadline extended for applicants from Djibouti and Ethiopia until April 30th, 2022)
- Short-term PhD Fellowships (UPDATE: deadline extended for applicants from Djibouti and Ethiopia until April 30th, 2022), and
