Call for project proposals

The call promotes projects in which solutions to relevant practical questions and current societal challenges are developed. This explicitly includes the possibility of working on novel, risky questions for which the path to implementation or the measurement of the impact is fraught with uncertainty. We are looking for projects that focus on different forms of cooperation between the participating universities and practice partners. Projects from the social, artistic, pedagogical or humanities fields are particularly welcome. The duration should be 1-3 years and 100’000 to 300’000 CHF in funding can be requested.
