Foros: 

The Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science provides a platform for exceptionally qualified researchers, demonstrating a willingness to engage in a dialogue on relevant social, cultural, political, or economic issues across the frontiers of their particular discipline.

 

Ideally, fellows pursue unconventional projects in new areas of science, engineering and social sciences. The fellowship was founded in 2002 by the late Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss. It is based at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). The directorate consists of Prof. Dr. Angelika Steger, Full Professor for Computer Science at ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Heidi Wunderli-Allenspach, Rector at ETH Zurich (2007 to 2012) and former Full Professor for Biopharmacy at ETH Zurich, and Prof. Dr. Josef Zeyer, former Full Professor for Environmental Microbiology at ETH Zurich.

 

Candidates that present an unusual research project that departs from the mainstream and that have a remarkable track record will be shortlisted and could emerge from the annual selection process with an award for the prestigious grant.

 

Apply with a groundbreaking research idea to secure financial support for up to 5 years, working at an academic institution of your choice anywhere in the world.

 

The registration portal for the 2019 fellowship intake is now open, and will close on January 15, 2019, 11.59 p.m. (CET). To avoid server-overload, please submit your application at least 1 to 2 days before the deadline.
