Young Researchers’ Exchange Programme with Korea
Event details
| Date | 31.03.2023 |

Aim:
The main purpose of the programme is to foster and facilitate the direct exchange between South Korean and Swiss research groups and to enable the mobility of early-career researchers such as doctoral students.

Available funding:
NRF will cover fellowships for researchers from Switzerland, while the LH Asia will cover fellowships for researchers from South Korea. It is expected that 9 fellowships from each side will be funded.
