SERI Mobility Grants for young researchers

The Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) has commissioned ZHAW, HES-SO, ETHZ, UNISG, UNIBAS and UNIGE as Leading Houses to build bilateral science and technology cooperation programmes. The goal is to foster scientific partnerships with foreign academic institutions, exchange knowledge and represent the interests of the Swiss research community abroad.

In particular, the SERI Mobility Grants facilitate the integration of the next generation of scientists in international collaborations by offering the following opportunities:

• Allow young researchers based in Switzerland to do a research stay abroad and
• Attract young talents from the partner institutions for a research visit in Switzerland.
