ETH4D Doctoral Scholarships
The ETH4D Doctoral Scholarship Programme supports scholars from low- and lower-middle-income countries to conduct research at ETH, particularly on (but not limited to) innovations that have the potential to improve the lives of people in poorer regions of the world.
After their doctoral studies, fellows have excellent prospects of becoming leaders in sustainable development by taking up important positions in academia, policy or industry, or by putting research into practice through entrepreneurship. The grant sum covers 200'000 CHF of salary and research costs towards a four-year PhD. ETH professors cover the remaining costs (typically amounting to the fourth year of the PhD).
