Opportunities

Scientific Exchanges is aimed at researchers who want to host their own scientific event in Switzerland, invite colleagues from abroad for a research visit to Switzerland, or visit their colleagues in another country.

Scientific conferences and workshops are the two types of event covered by the scheme. Research visits by Swiss researchers to other countries or by researchers from abroad to Switzerland are funded for a period of 1 to 6 months. For scientific events, the travel expenses and food and board costs of participants from abroad are covered, for research visits those of travelling guests.

The Scientific Exchanges funding scheme also supports the organisation of events that allow research communities to exchange best practices on how to develop a Data Management Plan, preparing research data and making it publicly available.

As a new researcher in the Swedish research system, one is faced with a series of questions, about proper qualifications, networks within the system or even practical issues. The Young Academy of Sweden (YAS) has developed a guide for international researchers, to help navigate Swedish academia and remove time-consuming obstacles.

This guide, an introduction to Dutch research and higher education, serves as a support document for researchers and instructors who are unfamiliar with the Dutch academic setting. It may also provide insight for those who have already been working in Dutch academia for a few years. It was written primarily with new ‘senior’ academic staff in mind, but will hopefully be useful for postdoctoral and doctoral researchers as well. The emphasis lies on professional challenges and opportunities.
