Fondation Biowise supports scholarships and research-mobility awards in biomedicine, with a clear emphasis on exchange between partner institutions such as the University of Lausanne, CHUV, the University of Basel, and Oxford-linked collaborators. Its funding is oriented toward early-career researchers—especially PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and academic visitors—who can use short or extended stays to build collaborations and advance biomedical science. The foundation is distinctive for funding cross-institutional mobility rather than general operating support, and for connecting Swiss and international biomedical research networks.
Structured, program-based grants with specific annual or periodic calls; awards fund short visits, doctoral scholarships, and extended postdoctoral/sabbatical stays, typically for up to several months and in some cases up to 12 months. Funding appears to be invite- or partner-network-driven through named institutions, with applications tied to published deadlines rather than open-ended support.

Watch the annual call timing closely: the 2026 application deadline is May 30, 2026, with the next doctoral call expected in early 2027. Applicants should be affiliated with the listed partner institutions and propose a clear mobility plan that advances biomedical research collaboration; these grants are designed for exchange visits, not general research expenses.
