The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) offers a wide range of research funding schemes which are open to scientists and academics of any nationality working in Switzerland. With few exceptions (mainly for research programmes), the topics and scope of the research can be defined by the researchers themselves.
The SNSF provides the guidelines and descriptions listed below to guide researchers and assist them in selecting an appropriate funding scheme. The documents can be found under "Guidelines & documents":
