For researchers who move abroad it is possible to make a request for ongoing SNSF funding to continue. The project can either continue in Switzerland while being managed from abroad or transferred to the new location.
Agreements are in place for this with most European countries. However, continuation of the project is basically possible in all countries.
The SNSF decides on a case-by-case basis on how the funding may be used (i.e. in Switzerland or transferred abroad, budget positions, duration etc.) A detailed and well-supported application should be submitted as early as possible to the responsible department of the SNSF.
