Seed Money Grants are particularly useful to develop joint project proposals to be submitted to large funding agencies in Latin America, Switzerland, and Europe or to combine already existing and independently funded projects in Switzerland and the partner countries in order to create long lasting cooperations.
For the period 2017-2020, the Leading House will consolidate partnerships with priority countries (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru) according to past activities of the programme and also support new cooperation endeavours with other potential partners in the region. Therefore, the Leading House opens the call, inviting Swiss scholars to propose mono- or interdisciplinary research projects in any Latin American country, involving bilateral or multilateral partnerships.
Budget
between CHF 10,000 and CHF 25,000
