This is a pilot Weave Lead Agency call between the SNSF and Spain's AEI, funding joint Swiss-Spanish research projects under SNSF's Project Funding scheme for 36 months. Applicants must form a binational consortium and submit a single parallel proposal led through AEI, with Swiss team members filing a copy to SNSF via mySNF within 7 days of the AEI deadline.

Who Should Apply
- •Researchers based at Swiss institutions with an established Spanish research partner (or vice versa)
- •Joint Swiss-Spanish teams planning a 36-month collaborative project
- •Applicants whose project fits SNSF's Project Funding scheme and AEI's parallel scheme
- •Teams whose proposed topic does not overlap with other ongoing funded projects
Key Dates
- •AEI deadline 24 November 2026; Swiss researchers must submit a copy to SNSF via mySNF within 7 days of that deadline
- •Single-stage parallel submission to AEI (lead) and SNSF (copy)
- •36-month project duration; call runs annually, next expected round October 2027
Tips for Applicants
- ✓Coordinate closely with your Spanish partner on timing, the AEI deadline governs the process and the SNSF copy is due only 7 days later via mySNF.
- ✓Check your project topic against any other active grants before applying, since thematic overlap with ongoing projects is explicitly disallowed.
- ✓Since each agency funds only its own nationals, budget and justify the Swiss and Spanish work packages separately even though the proposal is submitted as one joint project.
