Mobility

The University of Geneva supports and encourages doctoral students to engage in doctoral mobility programmes as a fundamental step in the internationalisation of their academic career, the advancement of their research and the progress of their thesis. Do not hesitate to take the necessary steps to enhance your scientific profile through a stay abroad!

 

In the absence of the SNSF's Doc.Mobility programme, the Boninchi and Schmidheiny Foundations now offer opportunities that are particularly suited to funding doctoral mobility stays.

  • The Boninchi Foundation accepts applications for doctoral mobility programmes usually before the end of March and before the end of August each year (to be confirmed for each application on the Foundation's website). Only candidates of Swiss nationality may apply.
  • The Schmidheiny Foundation supports doctoral mobility programmes, with application deadlines usually set for 1 April and 1 October each year (to be confirmed for each application on the Foundation's website).

 

Other financial instruments:

  • The SNSF only funds mobility stays for SNSF doctoral students. There is no deadline for submission, and you can submit an application at any time during your thesis, but at least two months before your stay.
  • Subside Tremplin
  • Movetia
  • 4EU+

 

Attention: Please note that each program has its own eligibility criteria and deadlines. Applying to these foundations and programs does not guarantee the success of your application.
