The Peter Bopp Stiftung launches annual subject-specific calls for proposals. Early career researchers, preferably at Swiss universities and recognized Swiss research institutes, may apply for implementation grants. In the selection process, particular weight will be placed on originality and societal relevance, scientific and technical excellence, sustainable solution orientation and plausibility of use in practice and business.
Provision of funding to researchers working on their own research topics who have a clear idea of the research problem they want to solve scientifically. Funded projects must be in the phase between research and market development and be seeking initial funding for the pilot and demonstrator phase (TRL 3-6). The main funding criteria besides scientific excellence, innovation and a sustainable approach are market opportunities and marketability of the project. Funding is provided by way of subject-specific calls for proposals.
