Funding opportunities for postdocs

Funding opportunities for postdocs

Time: 6 December 2022, 15:00 – 17:00, by Zoom

Becoming independent is a goal and a challenge of the postdoctoral phase. Acquiring third-​party funding of your own can make an important contribution here.

ETH’s Grants Office, EU GrantsAccess and ETH Industry Relations would like to cordially invite you to a session on funding opportunities, aimed specifically at postdocs. During two hours, we will introduce you to a number of ETH-​internal, national, and international funding opportunities. You will learn how third party funding can contribute to the fostering of your career.

This event will focus on ETH-​internal funding instruments. Two experienced ETH researchers, who have successfully applied for some of these, will share their experience, success stories, and also struggles, and will be available for your questions:
