## Summary

Chanse is an SNSF-funded multilateral initiative in social sciences and humanities that requires consortiums of at least three entities across three EU member states, with SNSF funding the Swiss partner. Swiss researchers are fully eligible and apply through SNSF with their national annex requirements. The call runs annually with deadlines varying by participating countries.

## Who should apply

- Researchers based at Swiss academic institutions eligible for SNSF funding
- Social sciences and humanities researchers leading or participating in multilateral projects
- Teams willing to coordinate with minimum 2 additional consortium partners in other EU member states
- Applicants able to meet Swiss national annex submission requirements

## Key dates

- Deadline varies by call; verify on SNSF website for the specific year
- Annual call cycle
- Transnational consortium coordination required across participating countries

## Tips for applicants

- Check the Swiss national annex carefully before submission, SNSF-specific requirements differ from the core Chanse call.
- Consortium assembly takes time; identify and confirm partner institutions early, as the minimum three-entity requirement is a hard gate.
- Coordinate budget submissions across partners; SNSF funds only the Swiss component, and misalignment creates delays.
