EPFL-Stanford Exchange Program, funded by Firmenich
© 2017 EPFL
Since 2015, Firmenich, the world’s largest privately-owned fragrance and flavour Swiss company, generously funds an exchange program for researchers between EPFL and Stanford University. The company is renowned for its world-class research and creativity, as well as its thought leadership in sustainability
The EPFL-Stanford Exchange Program seeks to foster long-term collaborations between researchers of the two institutions in a variety of life science fields, with a particular emphasis on chemical biology and neuroscience. To facilitate the program, EPFL has partnered with two of Stanford University's new interdisciplinary bioscience institutes: Stanford ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering and Medicine for Human Health) and Stanford Neurosciences Institute.
The three-month exchange program is aimed at EPFL and Stanford researchers at any stage of their career (PhD, postdocs, scientific collaborators and professors). The selected candidates will receive a grant of up to CHF 11’000 which can be used for costs incurred by the short-term exchange, namely travel, lodging and university fees (for PhD students only).
There will be two deadlines in 2017, on 1st May 2017 (opened on 3rd April 2017) and 6th November 2017 (opening on 2nd October 2017).
Apply now and get the opportunity to conduct research in the exiting environment of Stanford University and to interact and share your experience with their renowned researchers.
