[ Congressi Stefano Franscini | Funding for conferences in 2024 ]

Congressi Stefano Franscini (CSF) is ETH Zurich’s conference platform located at Monte Verità, a beautiful hilltop overlooking Ascona and Lake Maggiore in Southern Switzerland (Ticino).

Every year, the CSF gives researchers and university professors the opportunity to organize a 3-5 day international conference on any disciplines for 50+ international senior and junior researchers at the Monte Verità congress centre, with funding from ETHZ and the SNSF. The conference must be open to all interested and qualified persons and address a scientific public as wide as possible. CSF expects a reasonable percentage of women amongst the invited speakers.

Note that hybrid events, where few participants are not onsite, are also supported. However, the majority of the participants must be onsite to benefit from the intensive personal exchange that CSF offers.

Who can apply:

• The call is open to researchers at all career levels.
• Applications must be submitted by at least one PI and one co-applicant.
• The PI must be based at a Swiss research institution.
• The co-applicant can be based abroad. International collaborations are welcome.
