a1) COVID-19. General information about staying abroad

​​​(Situation on 1.1.2022; first version: 11 March 2020)

Researchers planning or conducting a stay abroad must follow the advice issued by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), as well as by the competent authorities in the countries in question.

Fellowship holders who are already abroad must respect the directives issued by the local authorities. If they return to Switzerland, they must follow the instructions of the responsible cantonal authorities in Switzerland.
The SNSF does not cover any costs for tests and quarantine measures or other costs related to the preventive measures against Covid-19. It is the fellowship holders' responsibility to inform themselves about the applicable measures and the steps to be taken before their departure.
a2) I am already abroad but I have no access to my host institute due to its closure. How should I proceed?

It is the responsibility of the grantees to find a suitable solution so that they can continue their research.

Please note that all changes must be communicated to the SNSF as soon as possible and that any change must be approved by the SNSF. Send your request to the following address: .

They can - if the host institute agrees - work from their home office in the host country for a period of 4 to maximum 6 months, in case the research can be done in these conditions. In any case and as soon as the situation permits, they should resume working at the host institute. The SNSF must be informed in advance if the situation at the host institute does not improve within a reasonable period of time and it becomes evident that conducting the research from the home office will exceed the authorized duration of 6 months. In this case, grantees are asked to consider the following two options:

They can find another research location, while respecting the travel guidelines issued by the authorities in Switzerland and in the country in question. A corresponding request for a change of host institute must be submitted to the SNSF (with a letter of invitation from the new host institute as well as a document describing the most important changes compared to the original research plan, if applicable).

They can ask for an (unpaid) interruption of their fellowship for a maximum period of 6 months.

a3) I am not able to start or continue my fellowship because I cannot go to the originally intended host institute(s). How should I proceed?

In the event that the fellowship holders are not able to travel to the intended research location, they are asked to consider the options described below. It is the responsibility of the grantees to find a suitable solution so that they can start or continue their research.

Please note that all changes must be communicated to the SNSF as soon as possible and that any change must be approved by the SNSF. Send your request to the following address: .

They have the possibility to postpone the start date of their fellowship by one year from the date of the decision, if this is possible for them. Due to the current pandemic situation, the SNSF also offers the possibility to postpone the start by 6 additional months; this gives them up to 18 months (from the date of the official decision) to submit the request for the release of funds and to start the project. Fellowship holders are requested to inform the SNSF about the postponement by e-mail or, at the latest, via mySNF through the form "Request for release of funds". If the start of the fellowship is postponed by 3 months or more, a new letter of invitation from the host institution must be attached to the "Request for release of funds" form. The release of funds must be requested via mySNF as soon as the start date is known and not earlier than 2 months before the start.

They can find another research location, while respecting the travel guidelines issued by the authorities in Switzerland and in the country in question. A corresponding request for a change of host institute must be submitted to the SNSF (with a letter of invitation from the new host institute as well as a document describing the most important changes compared to the original research plan, if applicable).

They can start the fellowship in their home office in Switzerland for a maximum of 4 to 6 months, provided that their host institute agrees and that their research can be started or continued under these conditions. As soon as the situation permits, they must continue the fellowship at the research location. In the event that access to their host institute or university is not possible or only partially possible due to closure or access restrictions, they may - with the consent of their host institute - start / work from their home office in the host country. If it is foreseeable that the maximum duration in the home office will be exceeded, they should check the other options mentioned in this FAQ (point a2) as soon as possible. In any case, the SNSF must be informed in advance if the time spent in the home office in Switzerland or abroad is likely to exceed the maximum duration of 6 months.

In the event that none of the above options can be considered, grantees are kindly requested to contact the SNSF at the following address: .

a4) Scientific reports

Fellowship holder can extend the deadline for scientific reports for up to two months. All they need to do is send a message to . Any changes to the research plan that are a result of the exceptional circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have to be mentioned in the scientific report.

Extension of mobility fellowships

As of 1 January 2022, it will no longer be possible to apply for an extension of the mobility fellowship with an additional grant "Covid-19".

Postdoc.Mobility return grant

For holders of a Postdoc.Mobility return grant duly engaged in Switzerland, the general provisions of the SNSF apply. These holders have to refer to the FAQ valid for the other SNSF funding schemes.

b) Is it possible to postpone the start of the fellowship?

The mobility fellowship must be started no later than twelve months after the date of the ruling. The chosen starting date can simply be indicated in the form "Request for release of funds" on mySNF. Please submit the form "Request for release of funds" via mySNF approx. 1 - 2 months before the definitive start of the fellowship. For a deferral of three months or more, please attach a new letter of invitation from the host institute(s) as well as a document describing the most important changes compared to the original research plan (not necessary if there is no change).

Upon request, it may be possible to postpone the beginning for a further twelve months in case of important reasons such as an illness, an accident or family duties. The grantee must submit with her/his justified request a new confirmation letter from the host institute(s) and eventually an updated research plan (by e-mail to pm@snf.ch). Other funds received, for example another fellowship, do not represent a valid reason to postpone the beginning for more than twelve months.

In 2004, the Equal Opportunities Offices of the Universities of Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, and the USI developped the REGARD workshop program. A couple of years later, the USI left, but then the HES-SO and finally the EPFL jointed the project. Together, the six institutions offer each year more than 20 transversal skills workshops to female PhD candidates, professors, and members of the mid-level faculty.
The REGARD workshops propose concrete tools for career management and supervision. Participants develop necessary transversal skills together with other researchers from different universities. Our workshops create opportunities for discussion and the exchange of experience between women researchers.

We open a couple of workshops each year to a mixed audience of female and male researchers ( see flyer) to increase awareness about gender equality in the academic career.

For whom, how and what?

Target groups: Assistants, PhD candidates, post-docs, maître-assistantes, MER et all other positions of the mid-level faculty, women professors

Workshop topics: Plan your academic career; Project management for research; Communication tools; Personal development

Workshops in french and english

Free of charge for researchers from associated universities

At least 20 workshops each year for approx. 260 participants

Gender-mixed audience for certain workhops

Goals

Develop generic skills that are essential for your career

Get to the grips with the rules of the academic world

Meet people who share the same issues and concerns

Learn how to keep the essential objectivity to reflect upon your career and options

Trouvez rapidement un premier emploi après la fin de vos études en acquérant de l'expérience professionnelle pendant que vous êtes encore étudiant-e.

Types de stages envisageables

Certaines facultés proposent un programme de stages obligatoires crédités. Il s'agit des stages dits "intracursus".

En complément, nous vous proposons des offres de stages "extracursus". Il s'agit de stages formateurs, que vous pouvez faire durant vos études pour augmenter votre employabilité.

Les avantages du stage pendant vos études

Un stage formateur vous permettra notamment de:

Clarifier les domaines qui vous intéressent ou pas

Découvrir les entreprises du domaine visé

Mieux connaître les attentes de ces entreprises et les profils qu'elles recherchent

Comprendre les codes et pratiques professionnels

Vous constituer un réseau professionnel avant même la recherche de votre premier emploi

Acquérir une première expérience valorisable dans votre CV

Obtenir un certificat de travail qui rassurera votre futur employeur lors du recrutement

Si vous avez besoin d'une convention de stage extracursus, remplissez la demande en ligne.

Les limites du stage

Toutefois, nous vous rendons attentif à ne pas tomber dans les pièges suivants:

Prendre un stage d'une durée inférieure à 3 mois. Ces stages sont trop courts pour être valorisables.

Accepter un stage non formateur consistant à faire des photocopies, de l'archivage ou de la simple saisie par exemple. Tout stage proposant des tâches en dessous de vos qualifications universitaires sera peu valorisable par la suite, car peu formateur.

Débuter un stage sans connaître les attentes précises de l'employeur et l'encadrement proposé. Une expérience sans répondant au sein de l'entreprise sera peu formatrice.

Nos recommandations de rémunération

Nous recommandons une rémunération de CHF 2'500 brut par mois pour un stage extracursus à 100% octroyé aux étudiant-es détenteurs d'un bachelor durant leurs études.
A vous de choisir
Certaines offres publiées sur notre plateforme pourront présenter une rémunération inférieure, voire pas de rémunération du tout. Il est donc de votre liberté d'accepter une offre de stage moins bien payé si vous estimez que l'expérience qu'il vous apportera en vaut la peine.

Et pour les diplômé-es?
Les stages sont réservés aux personnes en cours d'études
En revanche, certaines entreprises proposent des "trainee program". Ils constituent une vraie porte d'entrée dans la branche et sont à considérer. N'hésitez pas à prendre contact avec nous pour discuter de ces opportunités pour diplômé-es: nous pouvons vous aider à faire le point à ce sujet.

Votre programme de mentorat

Un partage d'expériences

Organisé par le Centre de carrière et Alumni UNIGE, l'association des diplômé-es de l'Université de Genève, ce programme a pour mission de faciliter la transition entre l'Université et le monde du travail. Ouvert à toutes les filières, il met en relation des étudiant-es niveau Master et Doctorat (mentees) avec des professionnel-les de tous domaines, diplômé-es universitaires (mentor-es), qui souhaitent partager leur connaissance du monde professionnel.

La convention de mentorat

Les rencontres individuelles entre mentees et mentor-es (relations mentorales) sont régies par une convention et se fondent sur un principe de volontariat et de confidentialité. Établie conjointement par le mentee et le ou la mentor-e, cette convention a pour but de préciser les objectifs ainsi que les moyens mis en œuvre et la fréquence des rencontres individuelles. Les mentees et mentor-es s'engagent à un minimum de trois rencontres d'une heure et demie.

Cette personne vous fera bénéficier de son expérience du monde du travail et vous accompagnera dans la concrétisation de votre projet professionnel.

Grâce au mentorat, vous serez suivi-e pendant 7 mois par un-e mentor-e, diplômé-e de l'Université comme vous. Travaillant dans le domaine qui vous intéresse, il ou elle partagera sa connaissance du monde professionnel et vous aidera à:

Si j'ai conscience de pouvoir apporter une certaine expérience et du soutien, le mentorat permet avant tout d'avoir un réel échange avec les mentees, à nous remettre en question et à voir les choses sous un autre angle. J'éprouve de la joie et de la fierté quand je vois mes mentees prendre confiance dans leur travail et en eux-mêmes, développer de nouvelles compétences, gagner en autonomie et tout simplement prendre du plaisir à faire ce qu'ils font.

Être mentor, c'est une belle rencontre avec la génération de demain. C'est, bien sûr, donner de son temps et transmettre son expérience, mais ce n'est rien comparé à l'enrichissement que cela procure. Cela m'a donné une formidable occasion de réfléchir à ce que j'aimais dans mon métier, aux raisons pour lesquelles il me plaisait autant et à tout ce qu'il m'avait apporté. C'est aussi découvrir de près les préoccupations et difficultés de trouver sa place dans le monde professionnel d'aujourd'hui et tenter, à sa petite échelle, d'être utile et de faciliter cette transition.
Lisa Locca, Mentore

Le programme mentorat est une expérience que je recommande vivement. Elle m'a d'abord permis de rencontrer une mentore dévouée et à l'écoute. Ses précieux conseils m'ont aidé à faire mes premiers pas dans le monde professionnel. Puis elle m'a donné l'occasion d'affiner mon projet professionnel, notamment grâce aux divers ateliers qui ont été proposés.
Aïda Qailouli, Mentee
Étudiante en Master de droit

Le programme de mentorat a dépassé toutes mes attentes : une équipe expérimentée, engagée, à la pointe dans son domaine et es ateliers enrichissants. Le profil de ma mentore était parfaitement adapté à mon profil. Je sors de ce programme plus solidement préparée pour trouver en emploi épanouissant. Je la recommande très vivement.
