What
SNSF Starting Grants 2026 call Candidates
To obtain a confirmation letter from the vice-rector for research, please follow these steps:
- Download the internal UNIGE letter, have it filled in by your supervisor in your host institution. It will be signed by Head of department and in principle countersigned by the dean of the faculty. This letter is meant to confirm internally (UNIGE) the aspects that are no longer covered by the SNSF form.

With these information, we will submit the confirmation letter to the vice-rector for signature and send it to you as soon as possible.
