THE BROCHER RESIDENCIES
The Brocher Foundation offers visiting researchers the opportunity to come to the Brocher Centre in a peaceful park on the shores of Lake Geneva, to write a book, articles, an essay or a PhD thesis. The visiting positions are an occasion to meet other researchers from different disciplines and countries as well as experts from numerous International Organizations & Non Governmental Organizations based in Geneva, such as WHO, WTO, WIPO, UNHCR, ILO, WMA, ICRC, and others.
The Brocher Foundation residencies last between one and four months between February and May or between July and October. They give researchers (PhD students to Professors) the opportunity to work at the Brocher Centre on projects examining the ethical, legal and social implications for humankind of recent medical research and new technologies. Researchers can also apply with one or two other researchers to work on a collaborative project.
The Brocher Foundation offers to successful applicants a workplace and accommodation in its premises. Breakfast and dinner are also provided every day.
“Junior” visiting researchers can apply for an additional scholarship in order to cover their travel and local expenses in Geneva (see “statute for visiting researchers” for all details). To be eligible for this "additional scholarship for Junior researchers", the applicant should be a PhD student or should have obtained his PhD degree in 2008 or later and should not receive any other income during the time spent at the Foundation.
Developing a research project involving cooperation with a Swiss university, a European university, a non-governmental organization or an international organization will be considered an advantage.
