Project funding

National programmes, foundations, funding agencies

  • Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)  
    • Project funding gives researchers the opportunity to independently implement research projects on their own topics and research objectives.
    • Spark enables the rapid testing or development of new scientific approaches, methods, theories, standards and ideas.
  • Innosuisse – Swiss Innovation Promotion Agency promotes risky projects with a high innovation content being conducted by researchers who are yet to find a partner for their implementation.
  • Gebert Rüf Stiftung supports research and development projects with a strong practical orientation designed to benefit the Swiss economy and society.
  • Stiftung Mercator Schweiz initiates and supports projects in three areas: democracy, diversity and climate. 
  • Hasler Foundation primarily supports research, education and innovation projects that involve the further development of information and communication technology (ICT). With its free funding initiative, it supports project applications which cannot be submitted within the framework of a Foundation funding programme and which justifiably do not fall within the funding scope of the SNSF or Innosuisse.
