Fully Funded Summer Exchange Program in Austria

The Vienna BioCenter Summer School is a 9-week intensive research programme at Austria's premier life-sciences institutes. It places undergraduates or early master's students in hands-on experimental work, data analysis, and presentations, with weekly lectures, journal clubs, and an end-of-programme symposium. The programme offers a Talents-for-Future track to promote inclusive access for students from under-represented or disadvantaged backgrounds and includes mentoring, a stipend, accommodation, and health insurance.
