The aim of the federal government's bilateral programs is to promote and strengthen scientific cooperation with non-European countries with high or promising research potential. For the 2021-2024 period, the SNSF has once again received a mandate from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) to carry out joint calls for proposals for Joint Research Projects (JRPs) with various countries.
The JRPs will enable researchers from Switzerland to address specific research questions together with researchers from the above-mentioned partner countries. The projects are generally completed within three to four years. Similar research costs are covered under the JRPs as in SNSF project funding. The SNSF is organising the calls together with partner organisations in the respective countries. Successful projects will be jointly supported, with each organisation funding the researchers based in its own country. Calls may be launched at irregular intervals and may be limited to specific subject areas that are relevant for both the countries involved.
Current call: Korean-Swiss Science and Technology Program, Deadline: 27.02.2025, 17:00 CET (further information: https://www.snf.ch/en/kTaVqfi7ivYBn5Tk/funding/programmes/bilateral-programmes-korean)
