Research stays at centers in other countries are an experience of great value for those of us who are dedicated to research. They are an opportunity to learn, grow personally and professionally, discover other ways of working, and build networks with top international experts.

IDIAP and ICS contribute to their funding through the Grants for Research Stays in Foreign or National Research Centers, which this year have been awarded in their 18th call.

Below, six of our female and male researchers explain in their own words what their experience was like and what it brought them:
