The SNSF is launching a new series of National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCRs) on behalf of the federal government. This new call is thematically open and is aimed at all disciplines. In a first step, the SNSF evaluates the submitted outline proposals and subsequent full proposals according to scientific, structural and organisational criteria. Based on this evaluation, the SNSF will recommend a selection of excellent NCCR proposals to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) for funding in autumn 2025.
