Info event on SNSF career funding opportunities

The USI Research Service is pleased to invite you to an insightful info event on SNSF career funding opportunities. This session will provide you with key tools to navigate the early-career schemes offered by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). If you are a PhD student or you defended your thesis less than eight years ago, this event is for you!

This event will focus on the SNSF funding opportunities that support young researchers on their path to becoming independent principal investigators. Whether you are planning a mobility period or aiming to carry out your own research project, there is a program designed to support you.

Current USI grantees, Francesca Galli (COM), Damiano Costa (FTL), Martin Gjoreski (INF), Anna Castelnovo (EOC) and Emanuele Guidotti (ECO), will also join the session to share their experience and answer your questions.

You'll benefit not only from practical information, but also from best practices shared by colleagues who were in your position not long ago.

If you're an early-career researcher ready to boost your career, you can’t miss this event!
