Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) (International)

The SNSF is participating in the Amazon +10 call coordinated by Brazil that aims to support scientific projects within the Legal Amazon and is open to researchers from all disciplines.

The call aims to support multidisciplinary scientific expeditions focusing on a better understanding of the nature-society interactions for the sustainable and inclusive development of the Legal Amazon (Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, Roraima, Pará, Maranhão, Amapá, Tocantins and Mato Grosso). Teams should propose the collection of data, biological and mineral specimens, and pieces of native and popular culture (present and past), always focusing on one or more of the priority axes described below

Funding will be provided for projects with a duration of up to three years. On the Swiss side, the maximum amount of funds that can be requested is CHF 250,000 per project.

Further information on the provisions of the Amazon +10 Initiative is available on the CONFAP website.
