IBSA Foundation was established in 2012 in Lugano, Switzerland, by the pharmaceutical company IBSA Institut Biochimique SA.
With the aim of promoting and allowing young and talented researchers to do great science, IBSA Foundation for scientific research offers 6 fellowships of € 30,000 in the following research fields: dermatology, endocrinology, fertility/urology, orthopaedics/rheumatology/pain medicine and for the 2022 special edition “Healthy Aging”.
The budget (before taxes and duties) includes funding for salary and mobility costs, and is intended to cover the cost of living for 12 months. The fellowship is compatible with other awards and can be used to increase the salary. Bench fees, overheads, funds for consumables or any other financial benefits for the host supervisor/the receiving institute are not covered.
Projects must start by 2023 and fellowship holders cannot move the beginning of the fellowship to the following year. The salary rate depends on the country being visited and may be subject to taxation. The IBSA Foundation cannot advise on respective national tax regulations and we recommend fellowship winners to contact the relevant authorities in the host country.
