DESCRIPTION:The SNSF programme Scientific Exchanges is aimed at researcher
 s who want to:\n\n	Host their own scientific conference\, workshop or meet
 ing in Switzerland (scientific event) or\, in justified cases\, checked in
  advanced with the SNSF\, abroad.\n	Invite their colleagues from abroad fo
 r a research visit to Switzerland or visit their colleagues in any another
  country (scientific visit). The visit must be of mutual added value and s
 cientific benefit for both parties involved.\n\n\nDuring the Coronavirus p
 andemic and beyond\, the SNSF wishes to support virtual conferences and ex
 changes.\n\nWho can apply: only 1 applicant\n\n\n	Employed by a Swiss rese
 arch institution for the duration of the grant.\n	Work-time percentage may
  lie under 50%\, but should not be lower than 20%.\n\n\n\n	For Scientific 
 events only: PhD is NOT required. Researchers employed on an SNSF-funded p
 roject are eligible\, though the event in question must not be directly li
 nked to that project.\n	For Scientific visits only: both the host and the 
 guest must hold a doctorate or 3 years of research work\, and be in a posi
 tion to carry out research projects under her/his own responsibility and t
 o lead project staff both scientifically and as personnel. Researchers emp
 loyed on an SNSF-funded project are NOT eligible.\n	Two exchanges can be s
 ubmitted in parallel\, provided that one is a visit and the other is an ev
 ent. Please note that in such cases\, two individual applications must be 
 submitted\, one for the visit and another for the event.\n	No more than on
 e application of the same type (i.e. event or visit) can be funded per ind
 ividual per year\, i.e. there must be at least 12 months between the end o
 f one exchange and the start of a new one of the same type.\n	Parallel SNS
 F funding: Scientific Exchanges can be applied for and run in parallel to 
 other SNSF funding\, but scientific overlaps must be avoided (i.e. if a vi
 sit or event is directly linked to another SNSF grant\, it should be funde
 d by this other SNSF grant).\n\n\nFunding:\n\n\n	Between CHF 2’500 and C
 HF 25’000.\n	Max. CHF 50’000 only if you apply for both types of grant
 s in the same application.\n\n\nEligible costs for scientific events:\n\n\
 n	Travel expenses\, food and board costs of participants from abroad provi
 ded they make a contribution (talk\, poster\, moderation\, supervision of 
 workshop\, etc.). No more than 1-2 persons per half a day of the event.\n	
 NEW! In addition to the regular eligible costs\, the SNSF now also accepts
  costs related to the organisation of online and hybrid events.\n	Replacem
 ents of SNSF-funded participants/keynote speakers must be communicated to 
 the SNSF before the start of the event. Otherwise\, their costs will not b
 e eligible.\n	You can ask for child care costs (up to CHF 200 per day) for
  room\, board and travel costs for children accompanying SNSF-funded parti
 cipants/keynote speakers during the scientific event. Child care costs can
  be requested only for children up to the 4th year of primary school (see 
 Annex 4 of the flexibility grants regulations\, footnote at page 2).\n	Doe
 s NOT cover: speaker fees\, conference fees and other costs related to the
  organisation of the conference (e.g. rental of venues\, conference materi
 als\, deficit guarantee).\n\n\nEligible costs for scientific visits:\n\n\n
 	Travel (actual costs) and living costs (flat rate). \n	You can now ask fo
 r child care costs* (up to CHF 1’000 per month) for room\, board and tra
 vel costs for children accompanying the visitor.\n\n\nDuration:\n\n\n	For 
 Scientific events: 3 months (the duration of the actual scientific event m
 ust be between 1 and 5 days. However\, the duration of the grant must be 3
  months\, with the starting date set on the first day of the month precedi
 ng the event and the end date on the last day of the month following the e
 vent).\n	For Scientific visits: 1-6 months.\n\n\nRolling call: apply at le
 ast 4 months\, but no more than 18 months before the start of the event or
