Research support
This section of the website is dedicated to Research Support and provides USI researchers with:
- Information on all open calls for research projects and information events;
- Specific information on each funding programme for PhD students, postdocs and experienced researchers;
- Support for the preparation of applications;
- Research project administration and financial management;
- Research and Service contracts administration and financial management;
- Technology transfer activities.
This information and support is provided by the Research and Transfer Service of USI (Università della Svizzera italiana), whose mission is to support researchers of both institutions in their scientific activities.

Research USI in facts and figures
Focus of the week:
SNSF - Sinergia grants
Submission deadline: 1 December, 2021
Sinergia promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between two to four applicants whose project involves breakthrough research.
Funding is granted for 1 to 4 years with a budget between CHF 50’000 and CHF 3.2 million. A Sinergia consortium is formed of at least 2 to a maximum of 4 research groups.
Swiss participation to the next calls of the Horizon Europe program
On behalf of the Swiss government, the SNSF has introduced two transitional measures – the SNSF Advanced Grants and the SNSF postdoctoral fellowships, to compensate from the exclusion from these 2 calls at EU level.
Other transitional measures are currently being evaluated and will be communicated in due course.
