Deadline- 28th Feb 2013
Swiss National Science Foundation is pleased to invite proposals for The Swiss South African Joint Research Programme (SSAJRP), which is three-year Joint Research Projects carried out by groups of researchers from South Africa, jointly with groups of researchers from Switzerland. The maximum amount to be awarded for a single JRP on the Swiss side will be CHF 230,000. Projects within the following thematic areas will be funded-
- Public Health and Biomedicine
- Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
- Greentech and Cleantech
- Humanities and Social Sciences (in particular related to the other three thematic areas)
By means of bilateral programmes with priority countries, the Swiss Government aims to promote and reinforce research cooperations with non-European countries that show high or promising research potential. In the new phase of this initiative (2013-2016), South Africa remains one of the partner countries, and the continuation of the SSAJRP is therefore guaranteed.
Eligibility & Criteria-
Proposals must be submitted by both Swiss and South African applicants and must be submitted by the Swiss PIs to the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) via its electronic submission platform mySNF.
