Open Call for Seed Money and Mobility Grants 2020 for research in Latin America
Apply for funding programmes to explore new sustainable partnerships and research in the Latin America region.
Seed Money Grants 2020
The goal of the Seed Money Grants is to strengthen or initiate scientific exchange between researchers from Swiss and Latin American institutions in all disciplines by enabling them to jointly undertake preliminary research and organize meetings, conferences, or workshops.
Seed Money Grants are particularly useful to develop joint project proposals to be submitted to large funding agencies in Latin America, Switzerland, and Europe or to combine already existing and independently funded projects in Switzerland and the partner countries in order to create long lasting cooperation.
Grants between CHF 10,000 and CHF 25,000 will be awarded.
Application deadline: 3 June 2020.

Mobility Grants 2020

They are especially useful for emerging researchers (Postdocs and PhD students) for the integration of the next generation of scientists in international collaboration, helping to build new partnerships through personal contacts, mutual trust, and to make cooperation more sustainable.
Grants up to CHF 7,000 will be awarded.
Application deadline: 25 May 2020.
