  • Summer Fellowship (SF): €2,700 per student. Every year 10-13 students are selected to conduct two months’ research at Harvard Medical School and affiliate laboratories
  • Science Writers Fellowship (SWF): financed young Italian science writers working in Italy to visit Harvard (program is currently on hiatus)
