DESCRIPTION:The Swiss Polar Institute (SPI) was created to provide service
 s to and promote synergies within the polar community in Switzerland.\n\nW
 ith Technogrants\, SPI supports Swiss groups developing technologies relev
 ant for research in polar regions (and other extreme environments such as 
 remote high-altitude regions). Technogrants can also serve the improvement
  and adaptation of technologies to extreme environments\, or support new t
 echnological developments to be used in the field for polar or remote high
 -altitude research.\n\nIn 2021\, SPI has dedicated a total budget of CHF 2
 50’000.- to fund technology development relevant for polar science\, the
  Arctic and Antarctic\, according to the SPI’s high latitude focus.\n\nW
 ho can apply:\n \n\n	The grants are open from Master’s students to seni
 or researchers based at a Swiss public research institution.\n	Application
 s are submitted by a Principal Investigator (PI)\, which will be SPI’s c
 ontact person within his institution. In case of a submission by a Master
 ’s student\, the application has to be overseen by a supervisor.\n	Priva
 te companies and start-ups are eligible to join the project as partners bu
 t should work within a project coordinated by a PI employed at a Swiss pub
 lic research institution.\n\n\nFunding: maximum CHF 100’000.-. The grant
 s can be used to complement the funding of initiatives supported by larger
  funding schemes (e.g. SNSF\, EU\, etc.).\n\nEligible costs:\n\n\n	All cos
 ts related to the conception\, development\, field testing (especially in 
 the extreme environments of polar or remote high-altitude regions in which
  it is supposed to operate)\, upgrading and adjusting of science support t
 echnologies in a broad sense.\n	Travel and logistics costs for field testi
 ng purposes.\n	Costs relating to salaries of permanent academic positions\
 , overhead as well as the acquisition of long- term asset are not eligible
 .\n\n\nSubmission process:\n\n\n	Complete the online application form (con
 tact\, main information and proposal)\n	Attachments to be uploaded into on
 line application form as PDF:\n	\n		Letters of support\n		CVs of the appli
 cant and main partners\, incl. publication lists as PDF\n	\n	\n\n\nSubmiss
 ion deadline: 19 October 2021\n\nFor more information and application\, pl
 ease have a look at the call webpage\, the call guidelines\, the online ap
