PRIMA
PRIMA grants are aimed at outstanding researchers who have great potential to become professors in their future career.
PRIMA grantees conduct an independent research project at the level of a group leader with their own team at a Swiss research institution. PRIMA grants cover the grantee's salary and project costs for a five-year period. With this competitive grant, PRIMA grantees can carve out a name for themselves and take the next step up the academic career ladder: a professorship. If a PRIMA grantee is appointed as professor in Switzerland during the funding period, the remaining PRIMA grant will be transferred as research funds to the new place of work.
Updated regulations
