Submission deadline:
Anytime (at least 4 months in advance)
The types of scientific event covered by the scheme include scientific conferences and workshops. Research visits by Swiss researchers to other countries or by researchers from abroad to Switzerland are funded for a period of 1 to 6 months. For scientific events, the travel expenses, accommodation and meals of participants from abroad as well as certain costs of online or hybrid events are covered, for research visits those of travelling guests.
The Regulations on Scientific Exchanges have been revised to clarify certain rules, align them more closely with current practices, and respond to increasing demand. The new regulation will enter into force on 1 January 2027. An overview of the changes is available in the news item, and the Guidelines applicable from 1 January 2027 are also available.
