AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Scientific Exchanges program, administered by the Swiss National Science Foundation, provides grants between CHF 2,500 and CHF 25,000 to facilitate international knowledge transfer. The scheme supports two primary formats: scientific events, such as conferences and workshops lasting one to five days, and research visits for Swiss researchers traveling abroad or international researchers visiting Switzerland for one to six months. Eligible applicants must be employed in Switzerland with a work-time percentage between 20 and 100 percent. Funding covers travel expenses, accommodation, meals, and specific childcare allowances, with regional travel budget maximums ranging from CHF 500 for Europe to CHF 2,000 for Oceania. Applications must be submitted via the mySNF platform at least four months prior to the event or visit. Evaluation is based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the exchange, the scientific expertise of the participants, the mutual benefit of the collaboration, and the overall feasibility. Required documentation includes specific templates for events or visits, CVs for applicants and invited participants, and a research plan of up to six pages for visits. Following the exchange, a scientific report of up to five pages and relevant output data must be submitted within six weeks. Grants must be managed by an official financial administration rather than the applicant personally, and any unused funds must be reimbursed upon completion of the financial report.

Weave
Solicitation # CxcoLbDNRaUwHIoH
The Weave funding scheme allows researchers from two to three European countries to submit joint research proposals through a centralized evaluation process. Operating on a Lead Agency principle, a single agency evaluates the project based on its existing funding rules and forwards the decision to partner organizations for endorsement and funding determination. Each participating national agency finances the sub-projects conducted within its own country, with a goal of supporting applications that rank in the top 20 percent of the evaluation round. Applicants must be eligible for funding in their respective countries and must submit their proposals simultaneously to all involved funders. While the research plan follows the Lead Agency guidelines, all other data must comply with the specific requirements of each national agency. Submissions are generally required in English and are accepted by the Swiss National Science Foundation on April 1 and October 1. Researchers are limited to one project proposal every twelve months and a maximum of two simultaneous project grants, one of which must be a Weave, Lead Agency, or ICIS project.

The program covers various research areas, including Social Sciences and Humanities, Life Sciences, and Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology. Eligibility is primarily reserved for Swiss citizens, holders of a Swiss permanent settlement permit, or those married to or in a registered partnership with a Swiss citizen. Alternatively, applicants who hold a degree from a Swiss institution and have not previously held a postdoctoral position abroad are eligible. General requirements include having completed a doctorate within the last three years, though medical researchers without an MD-PhD may apply up to eight years after their state examination provided they have at least three years of clinical activity. Applications must be submitted via the mySNF online platform. As part of a broader reform of career funding, the final submission deadline for these fellowships is August 3, 2027, with a new postdoctoral funding scheme scheduled for launch in 2028.

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.
