We have increased the maximum grant amount to CHF 80'000, applicable to all categories of our grants.
Additionally, we have introduced a new funding opportunity—the Young Investigator Grant—designed to support researchers at the early stages of their academic independence. Eligible applicants must have fewer than eight years of academic experience following the completion of their PhD. Further details can be found here.
Please note that the acceptance rate for our grants ranges from 5 to 10%.
