Eligibility & scope
Supports Swiss-based researchers participating in major international research infrastructure projects in particle physics, astrophysics and astroparticle physics (e.g. LHC experiments, WLCG). Applicants must be employed at an eligible Swiss institution; only one submission accepted per experiment.
Who Should Apply
- •Researchers employed at an eligible Swiss institution
- •Participants in major international infrastructure projects like LHC experiments or WLCG
- •Research groups working in particle physics, astrophysics or astroparticle physics
- •Teams needing to coordinate one submission across multiple subprojects of the same experiment
Key Dates
- •Project duration of 1 to 2 years
- •Only one submission accepted per experiment
Tips for Applicants
- ✓Coordinate internally before submitting, only one application per experiment is accepted, so overlapping groups must consolidate into a single proposal.
- ✓If multiple subprojects are involved, structure the application to clearly attribute each applicant's contribution to a distinct subproject.
- ✓Frame the project around participation in a named international infrastructure (e.g. a specific LHC experiment or WLCG) rather than standalone research questions.
