Before applying to the GSDE, interested parties need to find a supervisor at the University of Bern (or at PHBern or BFH in the case of visiting fellows). The GSDE office is happy to help interested parties to find supervisors. Please contact the coordinator, Dr. Tobias Schwörer, with your project ideas.
