Tips for Applicants
- ✓The bilateral requirement is strictly enforced; the South Tyrolean partner must be a research active institution, not a service provider. Frame the collaboration as truly joint, with shared intellectual contributions.
- ✓You may hold two concurrent SNSF grants (maximum), but only if one is a Weave/Lead Agency project and the other addresses a clearly distinct research topic. Reviewers check for topic overlap.
- ✓Submission goes to SNSF alone; coordinate with your South Tyrolean co-investigator early to agree roles, budget split, and governance before the April deadline.
