The Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI) and the SNSF are launching the second call for proposals for the funding scheme «BRIDGE Discovery». Aspirants are invited to submit their letter of intent by 19. February 2018.

Bridge Discovery projects aim to facilitate interactions between basic and applied research in order to realise the innovation potential of the research findings.

The funding scheme Discovery is aimed at experienced researchers who wish to realise a technological innovation with great social or economic impact. Researchers can submit a proposal on their own or as part of a consortium of up to three researchers. The project must be focused on technological innovations but should also demonstrate the societal and economic impact of the in-novation to be developed. In addition, the projects should be characterised by scientific excellence and a clear vision of a future application.

BRIDGE Discovery funds projects for up to four years. Grants cover the salaries of project employees and research costs directly linked to the project.

The call for application is now open. Interested researchers can submit a letter of intent, which is mandatory for the submission of a full Discovery application, via the mySNF platform by 19 February 2018. After this deadline, discovery proposals can be submitted via the mySNF platform as of the end of February 2018. The submission deadline is 16 April 2018.
