Following the fourth call for proposals for its Agora funding scheme, the SNSF will finance 12 new projects by researchers who aim to share their research with the public.

From among the 24 project proposals, the SNSF will support 12 with a total amount of just over CHF 1.6 million, which corresponds to approximately 55% of the amount requested. The scientists will share their research with children, adolescents and adults by means of apps, online platforms, smart games, drama, films, interactive exhibitions and practical activities. The projects address topics as diverse as open-air drama, apprenticeships in game design or plant science.
