NCCR Robotics Master Scholarship for Women
The NCCR Robotics Master Scholarship for Women aims to allow excellent female students to come within the NCCR labs and take advantage of their infrastructure/competence to run an ambitious master project.
NCCR Robotics can offer supervision in a stimulating research environment as well as social and networking events with students and researchers from the group.
This initiative seeks to promote and stimulate the work of women researchers in the field of robotics.

Applying students must already be enrolled in a Master course as a regular student in their home institution. The internship should be part of their curriculum.
