The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) supports basic science in all academic disciplines, from history to medicine and the engineering sciences. The SNSF is Switzerland’s foremost research funding organisation and finances over 3,400 projects involving 14,000 researchers each year. By awarding public research money based on a competitive system, the SNSF contributes to the high quality of Swiss research.
The SNSF awards Sinergia Grants to support collaborative, interdisciplinary projects where breakthrough research is expected. Sinergia promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between two to four applicants. Interdisciplinary research is defined as research across disciplinary boundaries. In order to achieve the research objectives, it is necessary to integrate elements (theories, methods, concepts) from two or more disciplines. All disciplines are considered to be equally important.
