Funding Opportunities

The LZZ's primary mission is twofold: first, to build networks between scholars at the University of Zurich working on/ or in Latin America; and second, to make Latin American Studies developed at the University of Zurich more visible by organizing and co-organizing academic and public events.

This means that our financial resources are very limited. Unfortunately, the LZZ is not able to provide research grants.
