Postdoctoral Studies
Upon application, FONDATION ACTERIA supports postdoctoral and noncommercial fundamental research projects in immunology and allergology by early career researchers who have won ACTERIA Prizes.
FONDATION ACTERIA also supports selected noncommercial fundamental research projects in immunology and allergology performed at an institute in a European country by other early career researchers, including such aiming at the research and knowhow exchange between Switzerland and Europe.
Applications shall be made electronically to FONDATION ACTERIA and shall include a nomination letter, an application form and ethical approvals. Applications will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee.
At the end of each supported project, FONDATION ACTERIA shall receive a budget accounting and an up to 300 words summary report for publication on its website.
