The ECTRIMS Research Fellowship in Switzerland is open to young neuroscientists from all nations, aiming to support their involvement in basic, clinical, or applied research on multiple sclerosis.

Offered by the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), this fellowship is available to postdoctoral students.

The ECTRIMS Fellowship provides a unique opportunity for fellows to develop a clear research project—whether basic, clinical, or applied—during their fellowship, working closely with a mentor at the host institution. The program includes a period of research in a European laboratory or clinic focused on multiple sclerosis. The fellowship duration is one to two years, starting in June 2025. This program is ideal for those seeking postdoctoral research opportunities in Europe, particularly in Switzerland. ECTRIMS offers funded fellowships of one or two years in a European lab or clinic, providing an annual stipend and covering transportation expenses for all fellows.
The ECTRIMS Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program is research-intensive, requiring fellows to participate in annual ECTRIMS congresses and present their funded research. ECTRIMS covers travel and accommodation expenses for congress participation. While the fellowship primarily focuses on research, fellows can allocate up to 10% of their time to teaching or clinical care unrelated to their research project or coursework.
