Innovations as of October 2016

In 2012, the SNSF set out to assess its project funding scheme. Based on internal analyses, external evaluations and a survey among researchers, it is now introducing various changes that will apply as of the submission deadline in October 2016: more diversity in research, clearer scientific responsibilities, more comprehensive funding for longer periods and more flexible use of funds. The changes are also expected to reduce the administrative workload.
