Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI are to receive two prestigious SNSF Starting Grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), amounting to 3.1 million Swiss francs. These will fund new projects in solid-state physics and physical chemistry. In view of Switzerland not currently being linked to the European research and innovation programme Horizon Europe , the SNSF launched the SNSF Starting Grants 2022 on behalf of the federal government as a transitional measure. The programme's mandate is to provide financial support for innovative research projects in Switzerland, whereby the funding tool is open to all disciplines and topics, and scientists from any country can apply. Zurab Guguchia and Kirsten Schnorr have been awarded such grants, worth 1.8 and 1.3 million Swiss francs respectively.
