Ancrage Clinical Research

Ancrage Clinical Research

Our mission

The aim of Ancrage is to support physicians who are interested in acquiring clinical and research experience abroad in the fields of oncology, surgical oncology, neurology and neurosurgery. Founded in 2017 under Swiss law, it is a philanthropic foundation subject to the supervisory authority of the Canton of Geneva.

Areas of action

In partnership with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Geneva and the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne, the Foundation provides support to young clinical researchers, to promote access to the job market, by awarding them a grant. Physicians who aspire to an academic career and who are interested in pursuing a clinical fellowship abroad, can apply for a 1-year grant. Based on the type of research proposal and research output during the first year, the grant can be extended to a 2-year period.
