Joint Call with India in the Field of Social Sciences

As part of the bilateral programmes with India, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) are launching a call for proposals in the field of social sciences. This call for joint research projects (JRPs) allows researchers in Switzerland to collaborate with academic partners in India. The proposed topics include digital governance, AI ethics and the social impact of AI; inequality, justice, and inclusion; mobility and social integration; and economic transformation. The SNSF will cover the costs of projects in Switzerland, while the ICSSR will fund the costs of projects in India. The duration of the JRPs is exactly three years, and the maximum funding for a three-year project is 300,000 Swiss francs. The budget available for this call will enable 10 projects to be funded, provided that a sufficient number of high-quality projects are submitted.
