The University of Fribourg in Switzerland is offering competitive research scholarships for international doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. These scholarships are designed for scholars residing outside Switzerland who wish to spend 3–5 months conducting research in collaboration with a University of Fribourg professor. The program is particularly suitable for those working in finance, blockchain, DeFi, sustainability, green finance, and digital innovation, but is open to all research fields represented at the university.

Applicants must have an active research project and secure a partnership with a University of Fribourg professor. The scholarships provide an excellent opportunity to advance research in a vibrant, multilingual academic environment in Switzerland. The university is known for its innovative research and attracts students and scholars from around the world.

There are two application deadlines each year: February 28 for stays starting September 1 or later, and June 30 for stays starting February 1 or later. The scholarships cover research stays of up to 5 months for doctoral students and up to 3 months for postdoctoral researchers. While the scholarships are competitive, specific details about funding amounts or coverage are not provided in the announcement.

To apply, candidates should identify a University of Fribourg professor to collaborate with, prepare their research proposal, and submit their application by the relevant deadline. More information and application instructions can be found on the university's official website.
