स्विस रिप्रोड्यूसिबिलिटी सम्मेलन और स्विस रिप्रोड्यूसिबिलिटी अवार्ड 2024 के लिए कॉल करें [अंतिम तिथि: 15 फरवरी 2024]
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
Five successful series of National Centres of Competence in Research have been launched since 2001 – a sixth will be added in 2026. With the NCCRs selected by the federal government, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) funds long-term research projects on topics of strategic importance for Switzerland. The participating researchers work in interdisciplinary and cross-university networks. Through collaboration over a long period of time and various measures, such as new training programmes, the NCCRs contribute to strengthening the funded research area and to the long-term establishment of research priorities in the Swiss higher education landscape. In addition to the federal contribution, the NCCRs are also financed by the higher education institution's own resources and third-party funds.
The adjustments to the selection procedure are intended in particular to increase transparency:
- The applicants and home institutions involved are informed about the declarations of intent and full proposals received.
- The composition of the panels will be announced four weeks before the evaluation meeting on the outline proposals and full proposals.
- The SNSF is expanding self-declaration for all persons involved in the evaluation process in order to identify and exclude potential conflicts of interest as early as possible in the two evaluation stages (outline proposal and full proposal). Furthermore, the criteria for identifying conflicts of interests in the NCCR selection procedure are specified in the call document.
