SCIEX: Scientific Exchange between Switzerland and Bulgaria
This new funding programme is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers affiliated with a Bulgarian institute who wish to do a research secondment in a non-commercial research institute in Switzerland.
The call for proposals will open in autumn 2024. The earliest possible project start will be in the autumn semester 2025.
SCIEX is one of the three funding instruments offered by the SNSF as part of the second Swiss contribution to selected EU member states. The mandate for the implementation of SCIEX was given by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and is co-financed by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science.
The main objectives of SCIEX are to further scientific knowledge and development, to improve and deepen the grantees’ scientific skills, to foster research collaborations, and strengthen scientific networking between Switzerland and Bulgaria.
More details about the participation requirements as well as the submission deadline and the earliest possible project start will follow.
