Applications for the programme are open to all students – international students are particularly encouraged (deadline: 15 December 2019). The department is committed to increasing diversity in the computer science area.

The programme offers you:

• Research experience: Fellows will pursue a research project that aligns with a chosen area of their interest as part of a research group in our department. This includes interacting and collaborating with group members.
• Networking and socialising: A number of on-site socialising events will help fellows to get to know people outside their respective research groups, including current ETH students at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
• Stipend: Fellows will receive a monthly allowance to cover housing and living expenses. Travel and visa expenses will be covered as well.
• Accommodation: Assistance is provided for finding affordable housing during the research stay, once a candidate is accepted into the programme. We will also provide information regarding visa applications (where required).
