Challenging the Dogma

Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship is unique anywhere in the world, since it provides junior researchers with a generous personal grant that gives them the freedom to work on whatever topic they choose at a location of their choice for a maximum duration of five years. The program was initiated and is financed by the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss and it is domiciled at and coordinated by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). What we fund

The fellowship is designed for researchers shortly after their Ph.D. who are at home in science, and willing to move between different social and scientific contexts. The organization departs from the assumption that intelligently handling the new opportunities made available by science and technology requires a comprehensive knowledge of the social and cultural dimension which these changes might bring about. Whom we support

Applicants must provide evidence of outstanding scientific achievement to qualify for the grant.
