Under the bilateral programmes run by the Swiss Confederation, the SNSF and the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) have launched a joint call.
The SNSF has launched a second call for Joint Research Projects (JRPs) together with its South African partner organisation, the NRF. JRPs enable researchers in Switzerland to collaborate with a South African partner. The SNSF will cover the costs incurred in Switzerland, and the NRF the costs in South Africa. The two organisations plan to fund 12 projects under the current call; the project duration has been extended to 4 years.
The following topics are addressed in the call:
Applicants must consult both the Swiss and South African host institution concerning their internal intellectual property regulations. For market-oriented projects, it is important that an agreement be reached in advance. It is the responsibility of both PIs to make sure such an agreement is signed before the project starts. The Legal Counsels at the Research office can help with this.
