Project Funding

The project funding scheme enables qualified researchers to independently carry out projects on topics and research objectives of their own choosing. Researchers can apply for funding to cover research costs and staff salaries as well as expenses related to scientific cooperation, networking and communication; however, they cannot apply for their own salaries. This funding opportunity is designed to support independent research across various disciplines including Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), Mathematics, Information Technology, Natural Sciences, Technology (MINT), Life Sciences, and Interdisciplinary Research. The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) provides this flexible funding mechanism to advance scientific research in Switzerland.
