The Swiss National Science Foundation and the Spanish State Research Agency have established a pilot cooperation to fund joint research projects between Swiss and Spanish scientific communities. This initiative utilizes a lead agency model where the AEI leads the 2026 call with a deadline of November 24 and a start date of September 1, 2027, while the SNSF leads the 2027 call with a deadline of October 1 and a start date in 2028. Projects must be bilateral, as trilateral proposals are prohibited, and must have a synchronized duration of either 36 or 48 months. Funding is managed independently by each agency according to their respective national schemes and eligibility requirements. Applicants must ensure there are no thematic overlaps with other projects and are limited to two simultaneous project funding grants, one of which must be part of a lead agency or international scheme. Notably, a specific exception to the standard 12-month rule is granted, allowing researchers to submit consecutive lead agency proposals with Spain. Certain thematic restrictions apply to AEI funding, particularly in clinical research, and applicants are advised to verify eligibility with the AEI.

Open access article publications

Solicitation # ozKDc97zu0ZBwCfJ

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) provides grants to cover publication costs for high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific research directly linked to SNSF-funded projects. Funding is specifically designated for the gold open access route, ensuring research is immediately available free of charge and without restrictions. Eligible funding includes Article Processing Charges (APCs) for journal articles, Book Chapter Processing Charges (BCPCs), and Book Processing Charges (BPCs) for monographs and edited volumes. Starting January 1, 2027, the upper limit for APCs is 3,500 francs, and the SNSF will no longer cover costs exceeding this amount. Funding for BPCs varies by module, with a basic module up to 12,000 francs and supplementary modules ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 francs based on character count. To qualify, articles must be published in fully open access journals of a recognized scientific standard; publications in hybrid journals and special issues are not funded. Eligible researchers must be part of an SNSF-funded project, and the grant number must be cited in the article's acknowledgments. The SNSF utilizes ChronosHub as a service partner for processing APC invoices, which, as of January 1, 2025, are paid directly to publishers rather than as refunds to authors. For BPCs, strict quality control is required, including at least one external independent written review of the entire manuscript. Applications are accepted year-round via the designated SNSF or partner platforms, provided that metadata is submitted and the work is deposited in approved repositories.

Open access book chapters

Solicitation # Gc965aD10MCUHTn3

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) provides funding for Book Chapter Processing Charges (BCPC) to support the publication of scientific book chapters in peer-reviewed edited volumes. To be eligible, the publication must be based on research where the SNSF funded at least 50 percent of the work, and at least one author must have received an SNSF grant or been employed in an SNSF-funded project. While the primary goal is to ensure immediate, free, and unrestricted Open Access (OA gold) publication, funding may currently be granted even if the volume is not open access, in which case the BCPC is intended to facilitate immediate open access for the specific chapter. Applications are submitted at any time via the mySNF online platform and must cite the original SNSF grant and include the publisher's invoice. The SNSF accepts the publisher's peer-review decision and generally pays the publisher directly, although refunds for previously paid charges are available if requested within six months of publication. There is currently no upper limit for the BCPC, though the SNSF may reduce unreasonably high charges. Funding is conditional upon the submission of required metadata and the inclusion of the SNSF's research funding in the publication's acknowledgments. The SNSF may exclude publishers that do not meet quality standards or the requirements of Swiss higher education institutions.
