Three pillars of funding criteria

- Scientific quality

Applicant(s)
The principal investigator (PI) must be a permanent employee (e.g. professor, group leader) and act in a legally binding way on behalf of his/her organisational unit, which has to be a legal accountable entity. This usually is an academic research institution, but exception might apply in some funding areas. Non-permanent employees are welcome to apply as co-PI. T
Collaborations
The foundation welcomes interdisciplinary collaborations. While we support research worldwide, we also welcome applications from Swiss institutions or transboundary partnerships. We ask that a collaboration is clearly delineated and follows the principles for fair and equal partnership
