Research visits funded by the special call can start at any point between 1 August 2022 and 1 October 2023. Funding decisions will be made and communicated within three months of the call deadline (8 April 2022).

- Employed at least 20% and receive a salary at a Swiss research institution for the duration of the visit and no less than six months following the visit.
- The data container «Other applicants» on mySNF is to be left empty for the purpose of this call. It is not to be used for the UK partner.
- Both the host and the guest must hold a doctorate or 3 years of research work, and be in a position to carry out research projects under their own responsibility and to lead project staff both scientifically and as personnel. Researchers employed on an SNSF-funded project are NOT eligible.
- Parallel SNSF funding: Scientific Exchanges can be applied for and run in parallel to other SNSF funding, but scientific overlaps must be avoided (i.e. if a visit or event is directly linked to another SNSF grant, it should be funded by this other SNSF grant).

- For research visits to the UK: 8 April 2022
- For research visits to CH: 8 March 2022
