Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Embassy of Switzerland in Skopje has the honour to inform that the Swiss Government, through the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students, is offering 10-15 excellence scholarships for students from Central and Eastern European countries and Caucasus countries for the academic year 2026/2027.

These scholarships provide highly qualified young graduates from all fields with the opportunity to pursue doctoral or postdoctoral research in Switzerland at one of the public funded universities or recognised institutions (Swiss cantonal universities, universities of applied sciences and the two federal institutes of technology, as well as the four research institutes).

Three types of scholarships are available:

research scholarships;
PhD scholarships;
post-doctoral scholarships.

The offer does not include scholarships for Bachelor and Master studies.

General information on the three scholarship types valid for North Macedonia can be obtained on the website of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI): https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/en/swiss-government-excellence-scholarships.

Starting from this year, the applications must be submitted though the GO ESKAS (grants online ESKAS) tool. Instructions and access to the tool are available on the SERI website: https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/en/swiss-government-excellence-scholarships-at-a-glance. The deadline for submission of the applications for North Macedonia is 10 November 2025.

We would like to thank you in advance for distributing this information among the students at your university/institution.

Kind regards,

Embassy of Switzerland in North Macedonia
