Call: SNSF Starting Grants 2022

Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)

Following Switzerland's non-association to Horizon Europe, the SNSF has launched the new transitional measure 'SNSF Starting Gants' on behalf of the Swiss government. With an SNSF Starting Grant, grantees will lead an independent research project and direct a team of researchers in Switzerland.

The SNSF Starting Grant Call 2022 is an integrative call which, in addition to the transitional measure for the 2022 ERC Starting Grant, also covers the SNSF Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship call 2022. 

The scheme is open to all disciplines and topics; researchers of any nationality may apply. An SNSF Starting Grant comes after several years of research after the PhD, qualification equivalent to a PhD, or medical degree during which grantees have already achieved scientific independence and contributed to impactful research in their field.
