Grants for researchers who wish to conduct an independent scientific project and lead a research team in Switzerland. This call is no longer part of the transitional measures. Researchers wishing to submit an application with a Swiss host institution can now also participate in the ERC Starting Grants 2025. For applicants who need to finance their own salary, the grant will comprise the project funds (max. 1 million francs) in addition to their salary. For applicants whose salary is already secured, the grant will include the project funds (max. 1 million francs).

The SNSF is organising an online information event for researchers interested in this call on 29 October from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
