Horizon Europe |
Last Calls 2022 (incl. for Missions), First Perspectives 2023. Many calls for projects “2022” are still open in the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon Europe”, with national transitional measures set-up by the SERI/SNSF in order to guarantee the funding of all Swiss participants in the context of the Swiss non-association (CH = non-associated high-income third country). |

Transitional measures for Swiss participation in space research and technology: creation of a European Space Deep-Tech Innovation Center in Villigen (AG) |
INTERREG |
Interreg is one of the most important instruments of the European Union (EU) to support cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation, including in the field of research and innovation. The first calls for certain programs of the new phase 2021-2027 (Interreg VI) have already been opened. In the field of cross-border cooperation, the new France-Switzerland program which has just been adopted by the European Commission, was officially launched on 9 June. The Interreg France-Switzerland program is endowed with 69.7 million EUR from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and with 50 million CHF from Swiss contributions. The projects supported must be carried out in the territory of cooperation and respond to one of the five program priorities, For the area of research & innovation under priority 2, one of the specific objectives consists in developing and improving research and innovation capacities as well as the use of cutting-edge technologies, mainly in the areas of excellence of the territory, such as micro-technology, ICT and cyber-security, health, energy, sport-mountain-tourism etc. |
EQUAP2 |
For many of us, submitting scientific findings to peer-reviewed journals or reviewing articles is part of our everyday professional life. The organization of the peer review process and the selection of submitted manuscripts represent the central services that publishers and journals must provide for the communication of scientific findings. However, this process is handled very differently. We have received reports ranging from exemplary review processes to suspicions of the prioritization of commercial interests. This project is carried out in cooperation with the TU9 German Universities of Technology, the University of Geneva, the University and the Zentralbibliothek Zurich, the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, the Universitätsbibliothek Basel, the Universitätsbibliothek Bern, the Swiss Consortium of University Libraries and the Swiss Library Network of Education and Research. |
HE - MSCA |
A new matchmaking platform for MSCA proposals was launched by the international network of MSCA National Contact Points in May 2022. This virtual platform aims to facilitate linking between researchers and all types of institutions and companies. This is an opportunity to generate new contacts and collaborations in the upcoming MSCA calls for 2022. |

The ERC Synergy Grants have been developed in order to bring together complementary skills, knowledge and resources from 2-4 excellent researchers with the goal of jointly addressing frontier research problems from any field. Researchers based in Switzerland can participate and will be funded by the European Commission. However, only one Principal Investigator per project can be hosted or engaged by an institution outside of the EU Member States or Associated Countries. |

HE-Space – Cluster 4 |
6 new space topics will open in October 2022 with deadline in February 2023 (see link). At some point (hopefully soon) they will also be accessible on the Funding & Tender portal. 5 topics relate to navigation and/or earth observation (Galileo/Copernicus). The sixth relates to GOVSATCOM: this is not easily accessible to Swiss entities, as there is currently no GOVSATCOM agreement in place between Switzerland and EU. Only chance would be if "there are no other technological alternative in an EU Member State". |
