MENA Consolidation Grants 2023
Event details
| Date | 02.10.2023 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: to encourage more advanced, solid projects between Switzerland and the MENA region. The impulse for the COG proposals should come from previous collaborations between the Swiss and the MENA applicants, with the goal to evolve and deepen those partnerships.
The objective of this instrument is to allow researchers to conduct fieldwork, laboratory feasiblility studies, or to organise conferences and workshops.
This call for "Consolidation Grants" is launched for the first time and it is currently open. The COGs are different from the Research Partnership Grants (2021, 2022, 2023) as the Swiss and MENA partners must have already conducted at least one activity together.
Amount: CHF 40,000
Duration: 18 months, max.
Deadline: 02.10.2023
Eligibility: The call is open to all scientific disciplines and fields of research. However, proposals planning developments for military application will be rejected.
