Weave Lead Agency Spain is a pilot scheme between SNSF and Spain's AEI that funds joint Swiss-Spanish research projects over 36 months, under SNSF's Project Funding rules. Each national research group applies through its own agency, but only one lead agency reviews the joint proposal, cutting duplicate evaluation for bi-national teams. It suits Swiss and Spanish research groups with an established or planned collaboration who already meet their national agency's standard project-funding eligibility.

Tips for Applicants
- ✓Coordinate submission timing tightly: the Spanish partner files with AEI first, and the Swiss partner has only 7 days after that deadline to submit the mirrored proposal via mySNF.
- ✓Because only one lead agency reviews the science, align the two national applications closely in scope and budget before submission to avoid inconsistencies flagged in review.
- ✓Confirm each partner meets their own agency's standard national eligibility rules, Weave changes the review process, not the underlying SNSF or AEI eligibility criteria.
