Funding opportunities for postdocs
Independence is a goal and a challenge of the postdoctoral phase. Acquiring your own third-party funding can make an important contribution to your success.
The ETH Grants Office organises online events on funding opportunities specifically for postdocs twice a year. A variety of ETH internal, national and international funding opportunities are presented and you will learn how third-party funding can contribute to the advancement of your career.
In addition, ETH researchers will talk about their experiences, successes and struggles, and will be available to answer your questions.
Our next event takes place on Tuesday 1 December 2026, 10:00-11:30, in Zoom (external page please register here).
Please kindly note that AI transcription tools are not allowed for our online events.
