Programme structure
The main part of the Student Summer Research Fellowship programme at ETH Zurich is devoted to doing research in one of the available areas.
Time frame: 1 July – 31 August
Please note that the time and duration of the fellowship is fixed to cover the full two months of July and August.
Eligibility
Bachelor’s and Master’s students worldwide with an expected graduation date earliest during the spring semester the year after the 2-month fellowship.
Research experience
Fellows will pursue a research project that aligns with a chosen area of their interest as part of a research group in our department. This includes interacting and collaborating with group members.
Networking and socialising
A number of on-site socialising events will help fellows to get to know people outside their respective research groups, including current ETH students at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Stipend
Fellows at ETH Zurich will receive a stipend of CHF 4,000 to cover housing and living expenses. Travel and visa expenses will be covered as well. Students can claim the travel costs against receipts at the beginning of the programme.
Accommodation
Accommodation will be organised during the research stay, once a candidate is accepted into the programme. Fellows will stay in a student house with single rooms, shared bathrooms and kitchen.
Switzerland
Fellows have the opportunity to explore the vibrant culture of Zurich in the summer as well as the beautiful mountainous landscape of Switzerland in their free time.
Prof. Martin Vechev (Head of Software Reliability Lab at ETH Zurich)
"We generally like to build systems that solve interesting and important problems in a clean and general way, without limiting ourselves to particular areas. Thus, often, our work is fairly inter-disciplinary in nature, connecting several areas of science. Of great importance to me is the success of individual students at all levels, both, during their studies at ETH, and after."
Prof. Olga Sorkine-Hornung (Head of Interactive Geometry Lab at ETH Zurich
"I try to help every lab member fulfill their potential and push the boundaries of their ability and imagination. Research is a team sport, and my job is to be the coach and team member at the same time, making sure everybody has all they need to be inspired and productive."
