Applicants may hold max two simultaneous project grants, one of which must be Weave. ## Summary Weave is a SNSF-led European collaborative funding scheme for researchers from 2-3 countries to submit joint bottom-up projects. The lead applicant submits through SNSF; co-applicants in other countries simultaneously submit to their national funders, with each funder covering the costs of its own team. The scheme targets the top 20% of proposals in each evaluation round. ## Who should apply - Swiss researchers ready to lead a multi-country consortium - Researchers from eligible European countries with strong national funder eligibility - Teams with 2-3 partners from 2-3 different countries - Bottom-up projects without predefined themes or targeted scientific areas ## Key dates - Deadline: 1 October 2026 (annual calls also on 1 April) - Single-stage joint submission via SNSF Lead Agency; co-applicants submit to national funders within 7 days - Evaluation targets the top 20% of submissions ## Tips for applicants - The co-applicant submissions to national funders must occur within 7 days of the lead submission; coordinate all co-authors on timing before you submit. - Check eligibility at each co-applicant's national funder before drafting; ineligibility in one country can sink the entire consortium. - Write a single joint proposal in English (unless based in Austria or Luxembourg); reviewers assess the whole team's fit, not separate national components. ## Frequently asked questions ### How does Weave funding work across countries? The lead applicant submits a joint proposal to SNSF; co-applicants simultaneously submit to their own national funders. Each funder covers the costs of its researchers, so you receive Swiss funding for Swiss team members, and your co-applicants receive their respective national funding. ### How many countries and researchers must be in a Weave consortium? You need 2-3 researchers from 2-3 different European countries. The lead applicant is typically based in Switzerland, and each co-applicant must be eligible at their national funder. ### What is the deadline for Weave? The next deadline is 1 October 2026; calls occur annually on 1 October (and also 1 April). ### Can I submit a Weave proposal if I am not based in Switzerland? Weave requires a lead applicant eligible at SNSF (typically Swiss-based); if you are abroad, you would be a co-applicant submitting to your national funder alongside the lead. ### What is the success rate for Weave proposals? Weave aims to support the top 20% of submissions in each evaluation round, making it highly competitive. --- Source: [The Great Grantsby](https://grantsby.eu/grants/snsf-weave-2026-10) — EU grant monitoring for academic researchers.
