We're excited to share that applications for the EPFL Humanitarian Action Fellowship (HAF) are open, an integral part of the Engineering for Humanitarian Action (EHA) program. The EHA initiative is a collaborative effort among ETH Zurich, EPFL, and the ICRC, aimed at leveraging Swiss academic expertise to address the needs of vulnerable populations in conflict zones.

Fellowship Objectives:

• Exploratory Fellowship: Explore potential research collaborations between ETH/EPFL and the ICRC.

• Stream II Fellowship: Help implement and scale technologies, or assist the ICRC in utilizing results from completed Humanitarian Action Challenge projects.

Fellowship Details:

• Eligibility: Open to PhD students, PostDocs, and scientific assistants I/II at EPFL, supported by their professors/supervisors.

• Financial Support: The fellowship covers 70% of the fellow's salary; the remaining 30% must be provided by their research group.

• Duration: 2-6 months, with a possibility of extension to 1 year for approved Stream II projects.

We extend our gratitude to our sponsors, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and Rolex for their support of the EHA initiative.
