Thanks to the generosity of the Bertarelli Foundation, EPFL Master students have the opportunity to apply for a fellowship allowing them to carry out their Master project within an HMS-affiliated laboratory.
Bertarelli Fellowships, which comprise an allowance of up to 30’000 USD for travel and living expenses in Boston, MA (USA), are awarded on a competitive basis to up to 5 students each academic year since 2011. Since the academic year 2015-2016, this Program is open not only to students in Life Science and Technology and in Bioengineering, but also to students in Basic, Engineering and Computer Sciences.
