EPFL’s School of Life Sciences is accepting applications for its 2027 Summer Research Program. The eight-week programme runs from 5 July to 27 August 2027; applications close on 15 November 2026.
Who can apply?
The published target group is international bachelor’s students and first-year master’s students in biology, biophysics, chemistry, bioengineering, bioinformatics, quantitative biology and related fields.
Funding and benefits
The programme offers laboratory immersion with an EPFL research group. Applicants should read the current programme description and FAQ for financial, travel and accommodation arrangements instead of assuming every summer programme uses the same support package.
How to apply and important dates
Read the participating-laboratory information and current FAQ before opening the linked application. Explain why your academic preparation fits the research areas you select.
Documents and preparation
Use the updated application form’s exact document list and referee instructions. Prepare academic results and a focused account of relevant laboratory or computational experience.
Before you submit
Make a personal checklist from the official instructions. Check that your name matches your identity documents, that uploaded files are readable and that your referees have enough time. Save a copy of your submission and its confirmation. If the provider changes its announcement, follow its current instructions rather than an older listing.
