Situated at the center of one of the world’s largest biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, Switzerland is among the leaders in the highly competitive field of life sciences. This strong position has evolved historically in cooperation with academia and industry. The life sciences are also well supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, ensuring that Swiss universities continue to play a key role in future scientific breakthroughs.

To give students a hands-on research experience and an insight into the distinctive world of the life sciences, ThinkSwiss offers travel grants for stays at life sciences and nursing summer schools at five top Swiss universities. All participants will share their experiences on our ThinkSwiss Research Blog!
