Participation requirements
Submission of proposals
The fellowships are awarded following a call for proposals issued jointly by various institutions. Information on application submission as well as the application documents can be obtained from the responsible persons at the dean's offices.
The applications are submitted to the local MD-PhD commissions.
Evaluation procedure
The local MD-PhD commission creates a shortlist of prospective candidates, from which the Swiss national inter-university commission (including representatives of the sponsoring organisations) makes the final selection.
