Service and contacts

Subsidising research is an ongoing challenge. While some funding agencies such as the Swiss National Science Foundation or European Research Funding Agency are well known, Swiss, European or US Foundations, Innosuisse, COST are less known.

Teams in the central services or in faculties are supporting advanced researchers to help them selecting appropriate funding sources, submitting projects, negotiating contracts (PACTT) and doing the financial monitoring.
