What team partnerships we offer

Resident Teams

Resident Teams are fully embedded on-site at the Rahel Hirsch Center, with dedicated laboratory and/or office space tailored to their needs. Operating within the CLIC environment, these teams benefit from direct access to shared infrastructure and resources, enabling close collaboration, seamless integration into the ecosystem, and optimal conditions for day-to-day research and development activities.

Member Teams

Member Teams become part of the CLIC ecosystem through tailored consulting services, program formats, translational support, and access to the ecosystem, without the need for permanent laboratory or office space. This flexible model enables early-stage engagement well before infrastructure requirements arise, while keeping the door open to a seamless transition into future on-site residency as needs evolve.

Application updates

Our current capacity is fully utilized, and CLIC is therefore unable to accept any further applications at this time. Thank you for your interest and understanding. Please check our website regularly for the latest information and updates on new application opportunities.
