collaboration with faculty members from both institutions, ETH Zürich and the University of Zurich
the CIS PhD Colloquium, which provides a structure to develop and present your research plan. Your particular chair may offer an alternative or additional weekly colloquium.
the possibility to attend the CIS Colloquium, which is a weekly guest speaker series,
attendance at several other events throughout the year such as the PhD retreats, the Zurich Political Economy Seminar Series, and Early Career Research talks.
