Grants for leading researchers
Following Switzerland’s non-association to Horizon Europe as of 2021, the SNSF has on the government’s behalf launched the scheme ‘SNSF Advanced Grants’. It is aimed at researchers who intended to apply for an ERC Advanced Grant.
Eligibilty
The scheme is open to all research disciplines and topics. Scientists of any nationality who want to pursue innovative, high-risk research in Switzerland can apply for an SNSF Advanced Grant. Applicants must have a track record of outstanding research over the past ten years and be recognised as a leader in their field.
The SNSF will extend transitional measures in 2023 on behalf of the federal government: SNSF Advanced Grants. More detailed information on this call will follow.
