SNSF – Project funding

Please note: Canadian researchers cannot be the Principal Investigator on these applications. However, they can join as project partners.

To support larger collaborative projects, researchers can use NSERC’s Alliance International Collaboration grants and the SNSF’s project grants. To access NSERC funding, a Canadian researcher named as a project partner on a successful SNSF project grant uses that grant as a springboard to apply for an Alliance International Collaboration grant to support their involvement in the project. The role and contribution of the Canadian researcher in the collaborative project must be described in the Swiss proposal. Canadian researchers should consult the Alliance International program description for detailed information on requirements and eligibility. 

The cooperation between NSERC and the SNSF will facilitate and expand research collaborations between Canada and Switzerland, strengthening our respective research ecosystems and providing benefits to both countries.
