I am pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2009 ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship! For the third consecutive year, ThinkSwiss will support 15 talented and motivated U.S. students from all fields of study, who apply for a research project at a Swiss university or research lab. The awardees will receive a monthly stipend of CHF 1,000(approx. $830) for a period of up to three months.
