By facilitating these visits, the program strengthens international academic partnerships, promotes research inclusivity, and enhances capacity building in lower-income regions, reflecting ETH Zurich’s commitment to global collaboration and the advancement of science and technology.The ETH4D Teaching Stay Grant supports teaching activities of ETH scientists or ETH emeriti at partner institutions in low and lower-middle income countries. Activities include delivering lectures, courses or seminars; or attending collaboration meetings.
