Money follows Researcher

The Money follows Researcher process is aimed at researchers who move abroad and would like current SNSF funding to continue. In principle, a continuation of the project is possible in any country. The project can either continue in Switzerland while being managed from abroad or transferred to the new location. This supplementary measure allows researchers with active SNSF grants to maintain their funding when relocating internationally, ensuring continuity of their research work. The SNSF decides on a case-by-case basis how the funds can be used in Switzerland while the project is being managed from abroad, or whether they can be transferred in whole or in part to the new host institution. Applications are accepted year-round, and researchers must contact the unit responsible for their funding scheme before applying.
