DESCRIPTION:Submission deadline: 01.02.2023\n\nThe SNSF launches the Multi
 disciplinary Applied Research Ventures in Space (MARVIS) call. With this s
 cheme\, we promote consortia projects that explore space.\n \n\n\nOn 1 Fe
 bruary 2022\, the Federal Council adopted the Ordinance on the Promotion o
 f National Activities in the Space Sector (NASO). Based on NASO\, the SNSF
  launches the first MARVIS call\, through a mandate by the State Secretari
 at for Education\, Research and Innovation (SERI). It has an annual budget
  of up to CHF 3.5 Mio CHF. The SERI plans to mandate calls every 2-4 years
 .\n\n\n\n\n\nA MARVIS project is eligible for funding if the following cri
 teria are met:\n \n\n	It is a research or innovation project in the space
  sector that is of national importance.\n	Its multidisciplinary character 
 is mirrored by a consortium that consists of at least two higher education
  research centres and at least one national or international industrial pa
 rtner.\n	One or several of the higher education research centres are respo
 nsible for the project.\n	It has a network of organisations and institutio
 ns that goes beyond the members of the consortium.\n	 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRes
 earchers can submit their projects from 1st November 2022 to 1st February 
 2023. The funding decisions will be communicated by the Federal Department
  of Economic Affairs\, Education and Research (EAER) in November 2023. The
  earliest project start date is 1st December 2023.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe MARVIS f
 unding instrument aims at developing specific core competencies in the spa
 ce sector at the higher education research centres as well as their nation
 al and international networks\; maintaining and strengthening Switzerland
 ’s position in strategically important and future-oriented research and 
 innovation fields in the space sector\; implementing Swiss space policy\; 
 gearing research and innovation work in the space sector to the needs and 
 long-term strategies of partners in industry.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe evaluation pr
 ocedure will be performed in two steps:\n \n\n	In Step 1 of the evaluatio
 n\, the scientific-technical quality of the project is evaluated by the SN
 SF. This evaluation is based on the project outline\, which consists of th
 e research plan complemented with the CVs as well as the supplementary doc
 uments. Based on the Step 1 evaluation\, the SNSF submits a recommendation
  to SERI\, as well as an assessment of the alignment of the projects with 
 ESA activities.\n	In Step 2 of the evaluation\, the SERI will evaluate the
  project according to the space\, research and innovation policy. For this
 \, the project plan is made accessible to SERI. This project plan consists
  of the project outline complemented with detailed information on the requ
 ested funding.\n	 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA national and international Steering c
 ommittee appointed by the Presiding Board of the National Research Council
  of the SNSF is responsible for step 1 of the evaluation on scientific and
  technical criteria.\n\n\n\n\n\nProposals must be submitted using mySNF. T
 he general rules of the SNSF apply to the MARVIS call.\n \n\n	Call docume
