The SNSF organises the visits of the Tour de Suisse in partnership with the universities, the universities of applied sciences and the universities of teacher education. They take place on the premises of the host institutions.
Each year, the SNSF visits several higher education institutions for half a day each, presenting its main funding schemes: project funding, career schemes, programmes, international cooperation and science communication.
Researchers of all higher education institutions in Switzerland are welcome to attend the Tour de Suisse events. They are the perfect opportunity for researchers to obtain all the necessary information and put their questions directly to the people responsible. Participation is free and registration is not required.
Depending on the location, the presenters speak in either French, German or English. All PowerPoint presentations are in English. Participants can ask their questions in any of the three languages.
