Conéctate A+ is a network of researchers and institutions interested in deepening the interdisciplinary, rigorous, and comparative analysis of top-priority problems linked to ecosystems, climate change, health, and sustainable development in the Tropical Andes – Central America region (Andes+). Conéctate A+ seeks to promote bilateral academic exchange between the Andes+ region and Switzerland. This webinar will help students in the Andes+ region discover study and scholarship opportunities in Switzerland.
Randy Muñoz, a PhD candidate at the University of Zürich, will talk about his experience applying for scholarships and the challenges and opportunities of living abroad, in particular, in Switzerland. Sedef Biçer, an International Scholars Advisor at the University of Zurich, will share Swiss scholarship opportunities for students from the Andes+ region. Henriette Graf, an Exchange Coordinator at the University of Bern, will present the key attraction points of UniBE, exchange opportunities and requirements, and next steps for interested students.
