The Leading House Asia has launched the 2024 Early-Career Grant Call for a research stay in any country/territory in East or Southeast Asia. The main purpose of the Early-Career Grant Call is to foster and facilitate the direct exchange between Swiss research groups and their Asian research partners and to enable the mobility of early-career researchers from Swiss Universities, public research institutes, Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) and Universities of Teacher Education (UTEs).

Call Details

The program will fund research stays for a duration of a minimum of 3 months and up to 6 months and is open to all scientific fields including social sciences, humanities, design and the arts.

Eligibility:

The LH Asia invites doctoral students (who have completed at least two years of their doctorate by the start of the research stay) currently working in a research group at an eligible Swiss institution to apply for a research stay in East or Southeast Asia. Doctoral students must return to Switzerland after their research stay to complete their doctoral studies. UAS/UTE researchers with min 2+ and max 5 years of experience by the application deadline are also eligible to apply. UAS/UTE researchers must return to Switzerland at the end of their stay to further work in a research group at an eligible Swiss institution.
