 ilitate the direct exchange between South Korean and Swiss research groups
  and to enable the mobility of early-career researchers such as doctoral s
 tudents.  With stays in a partner research group in South Korea or Switze
 rland\, the researchers should be motivated to spend part of their later s
 cientific career abroad while they are at the same time given the chance t
 o learn a new technique or use some infrastructure directly relevant to th
 eir current research project.\n\nAvailable funding: \n\nNRF will cover fel
 lowships for researchers from Switzerland\, while the LH Asia will cover f
 ellowships for researchers from South Korea.  It is expected that 9 fello
 wships from each side will be funded.\n\nBudget for Swiss researchers goin
