| Category | Call for proposal |
Deadlines:
MAPS aims at promoting excellent science in the participating EU-13 countries and at increasing the competitiveness in the European Research Area (ERA). Furthermore, Joint Research Projects (JPRs) implemented under MAPS will strengthen the research cooperation amongst the participating EU-13 countries and Switzerland and contribute to the multilateral cooperation between all countries involved.
MAPS will be implemented through JRPs that are aimed at promoting collaborative projects with clearly defined goals, involving one applicant based in Switzerland and two to five additional applicants in two to five different participating countries (max. one applicant per participating country, i.e., Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Poland or Romania).The research is to be carried out at the research facilities involved; reciprocal visits and short stays are possible within the scope of a JRP.

- Pre-Registration: 01.05.2024
- Proposal Deadline: 01.07.2024
- The maximum amount of funding per team and per country is CHF 350’000 for four years (for example, in a project consisting of three PIs from Bulgaria, Croatia, and Switzerland, the Bulgarian team could ask for CHF 350’000, the Croatian team for CHF 350’000, and the Swiss team for CHF 350’000 as well).
- The grants are co-funded: 85% of the grant is covered by funds of the second Swiss Contribution, while each SMP contributes 15% to the budget (Poland being an exception, see Annex 2). This has further implications for the financial reporting (see chapter 9, reporting).
- Each country has committed a fixed amount to MAPS.
- The best projects can be funded as long as the financial resources of the respective countries involved are sufficient. If the funds for a country are exhausted, the entire proposal must be rejected.
- JRPs last between 36 and 48 months.
- All projects must be finalized before the 30 June 2029.

Research Fields:
- This call for proposals is open to all research areas, allowing for both basic research and use-inspired basic research.
Eligibility:
- Each proposal must include at least one applicant based in Switzerland and two to five applicants in two to five different participating countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Poland or Romania (max. one applicant per country).
- Each applicant may submit only one proposal for the present call.
- Within a research consortium, all applicants have the same rights, responsibilities, and obligations.
- As the SNSF communicates with the Swiss Principal Investigator (PI) only, they are also the corresponding PI. This is, however, only an administrative term.
- Swiss Eligibility:
- Swiss applicants must meet the eligibility criteria of the SNSF Funding Regulations, the General implementation regulations and the SNSF Regulations on Project Funding
- Swiss applicants must meet the eligibility criteria of the SNSF Funding Regulations, the General implementation regulations and the SNSF Regulations on Project Funding
- Participating Country Eligibility:
- In each participating country, a Support Measure Partner (SMP) is responsible for the implementation of MAPS.
- Please note that each SMP has its own restrictions on the eligibility of potential applicants and proposals.
How to apply:
- Proposals are to be jointly prepared by the applicants involved in the consortia.
- The Swiss applicant has the responsibility to submit the proposal via the SNSF’s electronic submission system mySNF (www.mysnf.ch). Please verify in Annex 2 whether it is necessary to submit the same application also in the national application system of your host country.
- All applicants can have access to the electronic submission system mySNF through their Swiss partner. After login, the correct funding instrument must be chosen (Programmes > Enlargement contribution > MAPS).
