Find the funding scheme that is right for you
The Federal Council plans to reduce the SNSF's budget by 10 percent in 2027 and 11 percent in 2028. As a result, the SNSF will approve fewer applications for Project funding and Career funding from 2026. It will reduce, pause or completely discontinue certain other funding schemes. We very much regret this. You can find more information on the cost-cutting measures here:
- Projects
- Careers
- Programmes
- Infrastructures
- Science Communication
- International
- Supplementary Measures
