How do I register for the SNSF Portal?

Here you create your mySNF user account, if you don't have one yet.

You can only use such an account after a review by the SNSF, which takes at least 24 hours. Afterwards you will receive a confirmation by e-mail.

If you are a member of an evaluation panel, the Research Council, a review panel or a steering committee and do not yet have a mySNF user account, please contact the SNSF Administrative Offices.

Open the link to the SNSF Portal. Select the "SNSF Portal login" option.

Select "Continue with SWITCH edu-ID”.

Do you work at a Swiss higher education institution? Here you can check whether your institution already uses the SWITCH edu-ID. If your institution is marked green, log in with your institution's e-mail address and go to step 5.

If your institution is not marked green or you have never worked at a Swiss higher education institution before, create a new SWITCH edu-ID.

Follow the steps to create a SWITCH edu-ID account and accept the terms of use. SWITCH will then send a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you provided, please confirm it. If you do not receive an e-mail, please check your spam folder.

Now go back to the SNSF Portal and log in with your SWITCH edu-ID account.

Accept that SWITCH edu-ID will forward your first name, last name and e-mail to the SNSF Portal.

Now connect your mySNF and SNSF Portal accounts (you only have to do this once).

Confirm that the SWITCH edu-ID and the mySNF accounts belong to you and link the two accounts. Please read carefully, this step cannot be undone.

Please accept the User Agreement, then you can use the SNSF Portal.
