Shortlisted candidates participate in an online admission interview with the admission panel as well as online interviews with individual research groups. Applicants who pass the admission interview may thereafter be invited for an in-person visit to Switzerland. Travel expenses will be reimbursed and accomodation is provided.

After admission
