The ISREC Foundation supports 6 students within the scope of the “Summer Research Program for Undergraduate Students” – EPFL School of Life Sciences, and 6 students in the “Summer Undergraduate Research Program” – Faculty of Biology and Medicine, University of Lausanne.
During these eight weeks of hands-on training, the selected young biologists or physicians are given the chance to discover the world of research for the very first time; a rewarding experience and the opportunity to establish new contacts on an international level. At the end of the program, the students will present their work during a mini symposium held at the EPFL campus.
