The Graduate Academy grants financial support for doctoral students, who want to spend time abroad to promote their thesis.

The grant will be paid out as an allowance and contributes to living expenses as well as travel and research costs. The allowance will be announced with each term's call for applications.

There are two possible submission dates per year. Submit your application through FIS. The earliest possible start of the research stay is 6 weeks after a mobility grant has been awarded.

Application guidelines and requirements (only in German):

UniLU Doc. Mobility Grants Regulations
valid from 1 February 2024

Beiträge für Forschungsaufenthalte im Ausland von Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden
valid from 1 January 2021

For further information, write to Sarah Kaiser, Coordinator Graduate Academy.

* For doctoral students with a position at UniLu: Please note that a research stay abroad results in a pause in your wage gains.

* For persons with a settlement, residence or cross-border commuter permit in Switzerland: A research stay abroad may affect your residence permit in Switzerland. Please inform yourself in time at the migration office.
