Collective projects

With this joint call, the Novo Nordisk Foundation (Denmark), Wellcome (UK) and the Volkswagen Foundation are funding multi-perspective research into the interactions between mobility and health. How do they influence the general health, various health determinants and the well-being of local and mobile populations? Which novel methods and approaches can be used to address the effects of mobility in a sustainable way? Funding is available for research that crosses disciplinary and geographical boundaries and involves non-academic stakeholders.

Do you have a Citizen Science project idea and need financial support? Apply for a Seed Grant!

Once a year we award Seed Grants for the development or  implementation of participatory Citizen Science projects. Teams of academic researchers from University of Zurich or ETH Zurich and citizens can apply for up to 40'000 CHF.

TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities) supports research activity that transcends disciplinary and institutional boundaries. The TORCH Network Scheme is designed to enable researchers from different disciplines to collaborate in creating multi- or interdisciplinary research networks around a topic or theme of their choice. TORCH facilitates the successful networks through administrative support, venues and room bookings, a web presence and publicity including social media.
