Mobility grants in projects

Mobility grants are aimed at doctoral students who wish to improve their scientific profile by going abroad while being employed in an ongoing SNSF research project. During the period spent abroad, the grantee will remain matriculated at the Swiss home institution and employed as a doctoral student in the SNSF-funded research project. A mobility grant can cover travel and living costs as well as fees for conferences and workshops of up to CHF 20,000. It is awarded for six to twelve months. If the applicant is to be accompanied by immediate family, up to CHF 5,000 per additional family member may be awarded. The stay abroad must take place within the time-frame of the research project funded by the SNSF, and applications must be submitted no later than two months before the start of the stay abroad. The stay must occur at a single research institution without interruption.
