NCCR MUST at Scientifica 2021Funding Opportunities
This webpage lists the sources of research funding for scientists in Switzerland. It gives you links to specific information on grants such as the Ambizione Fund and Marie-Heim-Vögtlin Programme from the SNSF. There is also information on the EU research funds, specifically Marie Curie Fellowships.
SNSF Funding
The Swiss National Science Foundation website gives detailed information on all funding programmes for scientific researchers in Switzerland, plus the conditions attached to the application.
The Ambizione Programme is specifically designed for new, and advanced, post doctoral researchers.
The new PRIMA awards were launched in 2017. They are aimed at excellent female researchers from Switzerland and abroad who aspire to a professorship in Switzerland. PRIMA grantees lead their own research project at a Swiss higher education institution. They work independently and have a team of their own.
The Marie-Heim-Vögtlin Programme was a grant for women researchers who had to curtail their careers for family reasons, including moving for their partner's career. In 2017 it was replaced by the new PRIMA awards.
European Union Funding
Applications for EU Funding in Switzerland are supported by EUResearch offices based across Switzerland. If you are interested in seeking EU funding, it is advisable to register for their Newsletter and receive relevant updates of research calls relating to your research. Euresearch Offices run events to help researchers apply for funding, if you are registered, you will be notified of these events.
The Marie Curie Fellowship Fund covers grants for individual researchers, to encourage international and cross-institutional career development. There is an excellent 2010 Marie Curie R&D Guide which outlines the 8 different types of grant/actions available. It is really worth reading this document, it focuses on clarifying all the possibilities available in the Marie Curie Programme.
