Research USI in facts and figures
Focus of the week:
USI Mobility Grants
Submission deadline: 1 March 2021
USI provides support to doctoral students matriculated at the Università della Svizzera italiana who wish to improve their scientific profile by going abroad for a stay of 6-12 months during the PhD.
This new opportunity replaces the SNSF Doc.Mobility scheme that was recently closed by the SNSF.
