Who is supported?
The Faculty of Science supports the participation our junior faculty (PhD students enrolled at the Faculty of Science and postdocs) in international meetings (symposia, conferences, workshops, summer schools, etc.) in order to further their scientific training and to enable them to create their own scientific networks. Preference will be given to those who can show that they have no other source of funding to attend the meeting.
What are the requirements?
- The event must be publicly announced, have an international character, and allow for networking with scientists at different levels.
- Only active participation in a conference will be funded. Thus, either a selection for admission must be mandatory or the applicant must give a presentation (talk or poster).
- In 2024, the faculty will launch a special program (50'000CHF) to support young academics every two years. Once the money is spent, the faculty will return to its normal policy of providing support once every four years per person.
