The LZZ's primary mission is twofold: first, to build up networks between scholars at the University of Zurich working on/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.

All members and associated members of the LZZ can submit applications for funding of events and activities, including conferences, workshops and talks.

Please follow our application guidelines (PDF, 311 KB).

Note that only applications with a minimum of 30 days beforehand will be considered.
