SNSF Call for Applications: Consolidator Grants 2023
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) calls for applications to the SNSF Consolidator Grants 2023.
Due to Switzerland’s current status as a non-associated third country in the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, the federal government has mandated the SNSF to launch the funding scheme SNSF Consolidator Grants 2023.

These benchmarks should be complemented by at least one of the following indicators:
- Several important peer-reviewed publications in a responsible role that have made an impact in your research field(s).
- Major research monographs (for research fields where monographs are the norm).
- A substantial record of invited presentations at well-established international conferences, organisation of international conferences, granted patents, outreach activities, general contributions to science, other artefacts with documented use.
