NRP 73 "Sustainable Economy: resource-friendly, future-oriented, innovative" aims to generate scientific knowledge about a sustainable economy. Researchers interested in the programme can submit their pre-proposals until 26 September 2016.

Mandated by the Federal Council, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is launching a call for the National Research Programme "Sustainable Economy" (NRP 73). The new website is online now. NRP 73 aims to generate scientific knowledge to a more sustainable economy that uses natural resources sparingly, increases social welfare as well as the competitiveness of the Swiss economy. It will deliver insights that take account of the environment, the economy and society as well as all natural resources and stages of the value chain.

Researchers interested in the programme can submit pre-proposals until 26 September 2016, 5 pm.
