Agora funds communication projects that foster dialogue between science and society, enabling researchers to share their current research directly with a lay audience. Funding is available for communication projects by researchers that are developed and realised in collaboration with experts from communication, knowledge transfer, culture, media and similar. The researchers themselves should mainly carry out direct communication with the public.
Agora call: The submission deadline for projects with a budget of up to 200,000 Swiss francs is in autumn. Funding decisions are communicated in March 2026 (earliest project start: 1 April 2026).
