The CROSS program fosters the development of interdisciplinary projects addressing current societal and technological issues, by bringing together researchers from EPFL and the University of Lausanne (UNIL).

Each year, through a call for projects, CROSS awards funding of up to CHF 60’000 per project. These funds are intended to support emerging initiatives that are likely to evolve into major interdisciplinary research projects.

Projects submitted must bring together experts from the humanities and social sciences, as well as specialists from the life sciences, natural sciences and engineering.

The 2025 CROSS call is open to all topics.
