If you are looking for funding to continue your research after your graduation, please have a look at the dedicated Grants Office website for postdoctoral funding.
There are more options for funding than you might think. Check the Grants Office website for more open calls and opportunity finding software.
ETH Zurich and EPFL each year fund selected summer schools that are organised by doctoral students from the ETH Domain. This is a great tool to put together the perfect programme and to try out what it is like to organise a larger event.
A number of technology companies regularly advertise so-called "PhD Fellowships" in the field of computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Learn more about the PhD Fellowships form Technology Companies.
