SNSF analysis of infrastructure funding and development of research fields paves the way for evaluation by the Swiss Science and Innovation Council (SWIR).

​In a self-evaluation report commissioned by the SERI in 2013, the SNSF has assessed its infrastructure funding and development of research fields and put forward a number of recommendations based on its findings. The SNSF report, which will be published at the same time as the report by SWIR, draws on analysed application and project data as well as case studies of special funding initiatives, comparisons with higher education statistics compiled by the Federal Statistical Office and a biomedical portfolio analysis based on Pubmed and SNSF data.

The conclusions drawn in the self-evaluation report have been considered by the SWIR in its evaluation and used as a basis for the SNSF’s multi-year programme 2017-2020.
