Global

Swissnex Fellows

Ever since the onset of the pandemic, Swissnex has been unlocking new innovative ways to bring its communities across the world closer together. To this end, we have launched the global Swissnex Fellowship for researchers and innovators based in Swissnex’s locations – a new way for our local communities to connect with Switzerland’s world-class education, research, and innovation ecosystem.

 

The Swissnex in China Fellows are aspiring, up-and-coming individuals in China, who seek to grow their engagement with Switzerland. Our Fellows are key members of our local network and actively shape our interdisciplinary, cross-border discourses on education, research and innovation. Our Fellows bring in-depth knowledge of their fields, notably in our focus areas Smart Nutrition, Energy & Environment, or HealthTech.
