New classification of scientific disciplines in the SNSF Portal

With the launch of the SNSF Portal for the submission of funding applications, the SNSF has also introduced a new classification of disciplines. This corresponds to an international standard and offers several advantages.

Why categorise by discipline?

When researchers submit a funding application to the SNSF, they categorise their research into one or more scientific disciplines. This can help the SNSF in finding suitable experts to assess the research project. The SNSF also uses the specified disciplines when analysing its research funding.
