Grant List
We created a list of grants available for researchers to explore when seeking funding opportunities. Please note that this list is non-exhaustive – there may be other grants out there that could be relevant or beneficial. If you know of any additional grants that might be of interest to our researchers, feel free to email the Education Officer so we can keep this resource as helpful and up-to-date as possible.
ECR Support
The Education Office of the NCCR Evolving language strives to further and support our Early Career Researchers in their educational journey, through different measures. The main ones are listed here below.
NCCR Colloquium
The NCCR co-hosts a series of talks between the Universities of Geneva (“Brain & Cognition Seminars”), Zurich (“ISLE Colloquium”) and Neuchâtel (“CogSci”). These talks take place during the Fall and Spring semesters, once per semester in every institution . You can find the next scheduled talks here.

Workshops
Having the opportunity to attend workshops tailored to the ECRs needs is what the NCCR is trying to achieve. Whether it be through writing retreats, grant writing workshops, etc. the education office is always open to suggestion, and organises regular recurrent workshops.
Career Conversation : Beyond the Straight Path
