The call is run jointly by SNSF and Sweden's Formas, and requires a Swiss lead applicant hosted at a Swiss institution plus a named Swedish partner. Swiss applicants may hold a maximum of two concurrent SNSF project grants, provided the topics are distinct and both projects begin on the same date in their respective countries.

## Who should apply

- Swiss researchers hosted at Swiss research institutions
- Projects in environmental science, agricultural sciences, or spatial planning
- Applicants with a named Swedish collaborator and bilateral project scope
- Researchers seeking cross-border collaboration funding

## Key dates

## Tips for applicants

- Ensure your project start date aligns in both countries, the timeline must be identical for Swiss and Swedish phases.
- If you already hold another SNSF project grant, verify that the Weave project topic is clearly distinct; SNSF screens concurrent grants for redundancy.
- Apply via Formas as Lead Agency only if you plan to submit a copy to SNSF; clarify the dual-submission route with both funders before finalising your application.
