Our strategy to support research
|
|
|
|
The Service de la recherche (SR) strives to serve UNIL researchers and the many colleagues here who support them, the research support network (RSR). This network, represented in a simplified way below, is a complex ecosystem with several different actors that interact on different levels, from direct contact with researchers to the Direction.
|
|
|
|
|
Our budding strategy, which will be shared in due course, builds upon a series of objectives. We intend, amongst other things, to define our scope and how we will interact with the existing research support ecosystem. We also seek to develop our processes to better serve both researchers and the RSR, mainly by coordinating and improving the communication flow and collaboration withing the RSR, preparing resources and supporting the development of researcher-centered IT systems.
|
Some of our ambitions may take time, and I thank you for your patience in that regard. In the meantime, funding opportunities are waiting for your proposals. If you are looking for new opportunities, I can recommend Fundraiso and you can also learn about our services surrounding the SNSF transitional instruments, more information about which you find below
|
|
Lastly, I would like to wish a very warm welcome and our best wishes for success to Eliane Abou-Mansour. She has joined SR as an Adjointe de recherche and is in charge of the financial reporting of European research projects. We're very grateful to have her, given, amongst other things, her experience supporting researchers at the universities of Geneva and Fribourg.

Demystifying research

" Switzerland is excluded from European research "
|
In fact, almost 2/3 of the Horizon Europe calls for proposals (2021-2027; 95 billion Euros) remain accessible despite our "third country" status, especially the collaborative projects of the second pillar (Research & Innovation Actions and Innovation Actions).
Swiss institutions can participate as "associated partners". If the proposal is positively evaluated, their contribution will be financed by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SEFRI).
In addition, for individual measures that are not currently available, transitional measures are being implemented by the SNSF.
The call for the "SNSF Consolidator Grants 2022" was launched on March 1st and another call will be launched for the "SNSF Advanced Grants 2022" in the second half of 2022.
