In other words, SOUR is looking for unconventional technologies that could fundamentally shift the cost/performance frontier and eventually achieve significant market deployment in Switzerland.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><u>Funding duration:</u></strong> The total funding for this call is CHF 4 Mio., with which at most 4 projects will be supported. Each project may apply for up to CHF 1.33 million over a maximum period of three years. The start of the projects is planned for April 2027.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Applications:</strong></u> Applications for SOUR funding proceed through a single proposal and require the formation of a team, a work programme, and a budget.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>Project Team:</strong></u> A team is led by one Principal Investigator (PI) and may contain one or more Co-PIs. Because SOUR funding is intended for small teams, the team size should be conducive to producing a major leap and enters into the evaluation. The PI and Co-PIs must be employees of a Swiss institution of higher education, a Swiss private sector company, or a Swiss non-commercial research organisation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nApplicants are encouraged but not required to contribute own or third-party contributions, which are defined as:</div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Own contributions are financial contributions (cash or in-kind) from applicants.</li>\r\n\t<li>Third-party contributions are financial contributions (cash or in-kind) from sources other than the applicants.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div>The overhead rate for this call is 0%.</div>\r\n\r\n<div><br>\r\n<u><strong>Submission:</strong></u></div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>A complete application must contain a proposal and curricula vitae (CVs) for the PI and the Co-PIs.</li>\r\n\t<li>The PI must submit the proposal as Microsoft Word and pdf files via<a href=\"https://www.privasphere.com/e-uebermittlungBFE-Form\"> e-submission SFOE.</a></li>\r\n\t<li>The proposal must be prepared in English using the template that is available on the <a href=\"http://www.bfe.admin.ch/sweet\">SWEET website</a>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<div><br>\r\n<strong>Dealine: 1 December 2026 at 12:00 noon CEST. </strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nFor additional information please refer to the call <a href=\"https://www.bfe.admin.ch/en/sour-call-1-2026-en\">website</a> and <a href=\"https://pubdb.bfe.admin.ch/en/sammlungen/sour-call-1-2026\">guidelines</a>, or contact the <a href=\"mailto:research@epfl.ch\">EPFL Research Office</a>.</div>\r\n ","image_description":"","creation_date":"2026-09-10T11:31:46","last_modification_date":"2026-09-10T11:36:16","link_label":"","link_url":"","canceled":"False","cancel_reason":"","place_and_room":"","url_place_and_room":"","url_online_room":"","spoken_languages":[],"speaker":"","organizer":"","contact":"<a href=\"mailto:research@epfl.ch\">EPFL Research Office</a>","is_internal":"False","theme":"","vulgarization":{"id":1,"fr_label":"Tout public","en_label":"General public"},"registration":{"id":3,"fr_label":"Entrée libre","en_label":"Free"},"keywords":"","file":null,"icalendar_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121762/","category":{"id":16,"code":"PROP","fr_label":"Appel à proposition","en_label":"Call for proposal","activated":true},"academic_calendar_category":null,"domains":[],"mementos":["https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/79/?format=json","https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/140/?format=json"]},{"id":72558,"title":"SNSF: Biodiversa+ 2026","slug":"snsf-biodiversa-2026","event_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/event/snsf-biodiversa-2026","visual_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33808/200x112.jpg","visual_large_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33808/720x405.jpg","visual_maxsize_url":"https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33808/max-size.jpg","lang":"en","start_date":"2026-11-10","end_date":"2026-11-10","start_time":null,"end_time":null,"description":"<strong>Biodiversa+ is launching a new call for projects addressing biodiversity and novel ecosystems.

This conversation takes stock of where the field of simulation and modelling stands today and opens a discussion on future directions and best practices — how to safeguard reliability and scientific creativity, how to adapt notions of authorship and ownership for AI-assisted code, and how to preserve and ideally enhance the rich commercial and academic software ecosystem that has driven the growth of computational science in research and development.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>We invite submissions for contributed talks. If you would like to propose a contribution, please submit your abstract using this <a href=\"https://forms.gle/AXmRQWYvYY3g9wPWA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">form</a>.
