About the SNSF Advanced Grants Following Switzerland's non-association to Horizon Europe in 2021, the SNSF has launched the transitional funding scheme 'SNSF Advanced Grants' on behalf of the Swiss Federal Council. It is aimed at researchers in Switzerland who intended to apply for an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), who thus have an innovative, high-risk research project and are recognized leaders in their fields with a track record of outstanding research. The criteria for application, the evaluation and the amount of money awarded is comparable with ERC grants. In response to last year's call for SNSF Advanced Grants, 232 researchers submitted applications.
