The Leading House ETH Zurich and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) jointly fund the exchange of early career scientists between Japan and Switzerland. This Special 2023 Call for Exchange Grants Japan is a one-​time-only, special call whereby Japan-​based doctoral students and early-​career postdoctoral students directly apply to the Leading House Asia.

The Leading House Asia launches the call for the Innovation Partnership Grants to support the establishment of a cooperation between Switzerland-​based researchers with non-​academic innovation agents (i.e. companies, start-​ups, hospitals) in East and Southeast Asia including Japan.

The Leading House Asia launches the call for Opportunity Grants to support initiatives of researchers from Swiss universities, universities of applied sciences, universities of teacher education, and public research institutes, linked to specific events or incidents in East and Southeast Asia including Japan.

The Leading House Asia launches the 2023 Call for Young Researchers' Exchange Programme with Japan for a funded 3-​6-month stay at a research institution in Japan. Open to doctoral students of all disciplines and employed at Swiss HEI.

For a full understanding of Blockchain, with all its implications and potential for application in practice, it is absolutely crucial to look at it from a multidisciplinary perspective. In this Summer School, students will understand the three key pillars of blockchain systems, namely the technology, the economics and the legal aspects behind it. Building on this, they will then explore other fields of application, such as forensics and data analytics. This program is highly interactive, with hands-on practice sessions incorporating the most advanced and promising blockchain-based platforms.

This Summer School will focus on the past, present and future development of the Swiss financial system and wealth management in Switzerland. Students will enhance their knowledge in macroeconomics and finance. Furthermore, they will learn about the most recent and promising trends in FinTech and Sustainable Finance, and will apply their gained knowledge in a portfolio management game. This program not only offers the unique opportunity to get insights by leading experts in academia and business, but also to explore Zurich - one of the most important financial centers in the world.

This Summer School offers unique insights into the legal context in which international sports organizations currently operate as well as into the limits to their autonomy in designing internal procedures. Participants will explore the relevance of the European Convention on Human Rights in the context of organized sport, for instance procedural guarantees or the prohibition of discrimination.
Specific issues that will be addressed include the limits to disciplinary and investigative autonomy of sports organizations in internal disciplinary proceedings, e.g. relating to doping, and the role and limits of adjudication by arbitral tribunals and internal bodies of such organizations in general.

The Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF offers Scientific Exchanges that are 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.

The Research Partnership Grants support research projects with partner institutions which have to be based on an existing partnership.
A goal of this instrument is to allow researchers to conduct feasibility studies or pilot projects in order to apply for grants from larger funding agencies. A Research Partnership Grant builds on existing collaborations projects between researchers and scientists affiliated to a Swiss institution and researchers from the partner country.
Research Partnership Grants can fund the preparation of a joint project proposal for submission to large funding agencies or research projects to develop a long-​​​term partnerships between two institutions or chairs. Activities to intensify joint teaching or curriculum development are also covered by the grant.

The programme "JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships" enables researchers in Switzerland to stay in Japan for 12 to 24 months. The Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF is acting as the nomination body for the Postdoctoral Fellowships of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
