Branco Weiss Fellowship

Fellowships to USA, Canada, and International PhD researchers to pursue long-term research projects in any discipline. Funding is intended to give exceptional researchers a platform to engage in dialogue on cultural, social, economic, or political issues relevant to their discipline.
The Branco Weiss Fellowship is a worldwide fellowship program, founded in 2002 and coordinated by ETH Zurich. It provides a platform for exceptionally qualified researchers from all disciplines demonstrating a willingness to engage in a dialogue on relevant social, cultural, political, or economic issues across the frontiers of their particular discipline. The fellowship is international and transdisciplinary in nature.
The Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science is a unique postdoc program. It awards outstanding young researchers around the world with a generous personal research grant, giving them the freedom to work on whatever topic they choose anywhere in the world, for up to five years.
Branco Weiss Fellows are expected to present novel approaches in their research, departing from the mainstream. The selection of the institute or research unit best suited to conduct the research rests with the fellows. Fellows may undertake their research anywhere in the world at any institution, even at multiple locations.
Funding may be used to cover all legitimate costs of research (i.e. salary and/or equipment, travel expenses, consumables, personnel, etc.).
GrantWatch ID#: 139465
The program aims to award up to ten fellowships each year.
A Branco Weiss Fellowship consists of CHF 100,000 per year.
Research projects should be conceived to last five years.
The first two years of a project are called the Pioneer Phase. At the end of the Pioneer Phase, a review and a site visit will be conducted. At this point, the project, its continued originality, and the productivity of the fellow will be evaluated. If the results of the evaluation and site visit are satisfactory, the fellow enters the Exploitation Phase for the remaining three years of the fellowship.
