Tips for Applicants
- ✓Consortium assembly is the bottleneck, secure partners across EU states early; SNSF funding hinges on a compliant multi-country structure.
- ✓Review the national annex for Switzerland carefully; Swiss submission requirements (forms, eligibility rules, budget justification) may differ from the overall ERA-NET call.
- ✓The research question should span national borders and expertise; single-centre problems reframed as consortia do not score well here.
