SNIS: 2024 Call for Projects

The Call offers project grants for pluri-disciplinary teams working on international studies – i.e. relevant to the international agenda and for which international cooperation is required to produce policy-relevant outputs. The SNIS supports pluri-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary projects that incorporate various academic disciplines and involve collaborations with International Organizations and/or NGOs.

The SNIS supports pluri-disciplinary projects in the social sciences and pluri-disciplinary projects that combine natural and social sciences. The SNIS does not support pluri-disciplinary projects that only consist of natural sciences. The SNIS does not fund individual grants, i.e. career grants.

Projects must run for two years, and funding can range from 100’000 to 300’000 CHF.

There are two thematic branches of the Call:

• The general Call: in any area of International Studies;
• Theme 2024: defined by the SNIS International Geneva Committee: ‘Pathways to inclusive and participatory multilateralism’, with the following sub-themes:
  • The role of participatory multilateralism in addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis
  • The role of technology for enhanced participation / representation
  • The role of education for enhanced participation / representation
  • New forms of representation, particularly youth representation and private sector representation
