EPFLglobaLeaders in a nutshell
EPFLglobaLeaders is a doctoral fellowship programme funding early stage researchers to become leaders in the transition towards sustainable societies. Doctoral fellows benefit from a multifaceted training programme, including a secondment in the non-academic sector. Three calls for applications have been held during the period 2020-2022 and no further calls are planned.
The fellowship
The EPFLglobaLeaders fellowship consists of a monthly contribution to the salary of the doctoral candidate of EUR 1’935 and is granted for a period of forty-eight months.

Intersectoral Excellence Committee
The Intersectoral Excellence Committee (IEC) was an internal and external international peer-review panel responsible for scoring all admissible applications, the evaluation of the project proposals and the final decision on the granting of fellowships based on the EPFLglobaLeaders evaluation criteria.
The IEC was comprised of experts from a wide range of fields in the areas of research covered by EPFL. The appointment of IEC members was in line with the principles of the “European Charter of Researchers” and the “Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers” which EPFL signed on 16 September 2005.
