DESCRIPTION:\nThe Gebert Rüf Stiftung (GRS) supports pre-competitive\, ap
 plied research (at Swiss institutions of higher education) that seems too 
 application-oriented for institutions of higher learning\, and too far fro
 m the market for institutions that promote the transfer from research to a
 pplication. GRS does NOT support purely fundamental research projects\, th
 e optimization of the already known\, business-oriented start-up projects\
 , projects that have already commenced or isolated projects with little sy
 nergistic impact.\n\nGRS programmes\n\n	DesignPlus is aimed at interdiscip
 linary project groups in the fields of science\, technology and education\
 , conducting application-oriented R&D and educational projects in which de
 sign – from conception to implementation – is central and not merely a
 n add-on. Design theory and disciplinary basic design research are NOT sup
 ported. Both small projects (short duration\, up to CHF 50\,000) and large
 r projects (2-3 years\, up to CHF 300\,000) are considered.\n	Pilot Projec
 ts provides start-up or initial funding for projects of nationwide importa
 nce\, which stand out as particularly original\, innovative\, surprising o
 r promising\, with major potential and suitable to serve as a model. For a
 n indication of the grant duration and funding\, follow this link.\n	Scien
 tainment is for interdisciplinary teams working on projects that address t
 he need for a low-threshold way of communicating about education\, researc
 h and innovation\, combining entertainment with the transfer of knowledge.
  It promotes the development of new forms of science dialogue in collabora
 tion with representatives of non-scientific target groups in Switzerland. 
 Marketing campaigns\, institutional PR work and science communication are 
 NOT supported. An indication of grants duration and funding can be found a
 t this link.\n\n\nApplication\n\n\n	Informal Access: send a 1-2pp. abstrac
 t of your project (and alternatives) well ahead of the chosen deadline to 
 idee@grstiftung.ch.\n	Deadlines for First Evaluation Stage: 1 February\, 1
  May\, 1 September\, 1 December (every year).\n	Deadlines for Second Evalu
 ation Stage: 1 March\, 15 May\, 1 September\, 1 December (every year).\n\n
 The selection process lasts approximately 6 months.\n \nEligible costs: s
 alaries for mid-level faculty and young academic talent\, material and inf
 rastructure costs\, among others. Overheads are not covered.\n \nFor more

 ure and funding strategy\, and contact the Research Office.
