Fully funded fellowship from EPFL in Switzerland. Check the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.
A fellowship offered by EPFL in Switzerland.
The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at PhD level.
Before you apply
Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.
Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.
How to apply
The CYD Fellowships run as numbered calls for proposals rather than a single annual round, and there are several distinct fellowship types: six-month master's thesis fellowships, four-year doctoral fellowships, distinguished postdoctoral fellowships of up to three years, and proof-of-concept fellowships.
Check which call is currently open and which type fits your stage before preparing anything — the requirements differ substantially between them.
What you will need
- Research proposal
- CV
- Transcripts
- Letters of support from a Swiss host institution
Eligibility notes
Open to all nationalities. Fellows are hosted by a Swiss higher education institution and conduct research at the CYD Campus at EPFL, ETH Zurich or Thun.
Details can change without notice. Confirm everything on the organisation's own page before you apply — see our disclaimer. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
