CYD Fellowships – A Talent Program for Cyber-Defence Research

The CYD Fellowships are research fellowships jointly launched by EPFL and the Cyber-Defence Campus to promote cyber-defence research and education. The program supports outstanding students and researchers at different career stages, hosted by Swiss higher education institutions, with research conducted at the CYD Campus (EPFL, ETHZ, and Thun). Multiple fellowships are awarded per call across Master, Doctoral, and Postdoctoral levels, with benefits including living allowances, salaries, and research or conference funds for several years depending on the track.

Review the application toolkit, prepare transcripts, CV, research proposal and supporting documents, and submit via the CYD application platform before the deadline; an online applicant workshop is optional but recommended.
