Event details
Date | 01.11.2018 |
Category | Call for proposal |
The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) awards PRIMA grants to outstanding women researchers in all disciplines at postdoctoral level who aim to pursue an academic career as a professor in Switzerland. PRIMA grants promote the scientific independence and autonomy of highly qualified women researchers with excellent research ideas, thereby increasing their chances of obtaining a professorship at a higher education institution in Switzerland. Women with untypical career paths are also eligible to apply for funding under PRIMA.
PRIMA grants are flexible, cover salaries and project costs and allow mobility. If a PRIMA grantee is appointed to a professorship at a higher education institution in Switzerland before the grant expires, she may take all remaining PRIMA funds with her.
