Contribution for Coordination in Project Proposals
To date the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) has granted CHF 10 000 towards the coordination of Swiss projects under Horizon Europe. These contributions were granted once an application had been positively evaluated by the European Commission.
However, in view of the federal government’s strained financial outlook, SERI has decided to no longer grant such coordination contributions as of the 2025 Horizon Europe calls.
The available federal funds will be put entirely towards financing projects under the direct funding scheme. The payments helped to compensate for a coordinator’s additional work in preparing a funding application, but did not cover all costs.
