The Booster - Effective treatment to boost young biomedical research talents
The PhD Booster programme is an initiative of the Faculty of Medicine that aims to empower PhD students in life sciences of the AV短视频 by providing grants that advance their careers and enhance their communication and outreach skills.
Building on the success of previous editions, the programme offers participants an enriching coaching experience, helping them improve their project presentations and gain valuable exposure through professional video presentations and visibility on UNIGE's social media platforms.
Following a competitive selection process, five finalists receive grants to “boost” their careers. These grants enable them to finance international experiences, such as research stays in laboratories abroad, conference participation, or additional training. This opportunity provides significant career development and valuable skills for their future.
Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors, we proudly support five finalists each year with grants ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 CHF. The Faculty of Medicine extends its deepest gratitude to the donors of the PhD Booster Programme, whose generosity has been instrumental since its inception. Special thanks to the Fondation privée des HUG, Fondation Zython, Fondation de Reuter, Fondation Bertarelli, Fondation Damm-Etienne, Fondation Hubert Tuor, and Madame Jean Pastré for their support.
We are excited to announce that the 2025 Call for Proposals is now open!
The 2025 edition is made possible through the kind support of the Fondation privée des HUG, Fondation Hubert Tuor, and Madame Jean Pastré.
