Dear researchers, Focus: SNSF NRP 80
The National Research Programme 80 (NRP 80): COVID-19 in SocietyThe Federal Council has mandated the SNSF to implement the new National Research Programme "COVID-19 in Society" (NRP 80). The Programme aims to help manage current and future pandemics.

SNSF-Funding Scheme and Priorities for 2021-2024
Call with the T-AP: Recovery, Renewal and Resilience in a Post-Pandemic World (RRR)The SNSF is participating in the T-AP for Social Science and Humanities, which is a collaboration between research funders from South America, North America and Europe. The T-AP) aims to enhance the ability of funders, research organizations and researchers to engage in transnational dialogue and collaboration in the field of SSH. The present call is focused on RRR in a Post-Pandemic World.
Realisation of a project with partners abroad: Lead Agency and WeaveAs an addition to the Lead Agency within the project funding scheme, the SNSF signed an agreement with partner agencies abroad to simplify the submission of multi-lateral projects.

Media training, writing coaching, and social media workshops for researchers: courses in 2021Presenting research projects and findings to a wider audience is an important task, and media diversity and communication requirements are high in the digital era. The SNSF provides researchers with one-day media courses and social media workshops, and two-day writing courses. The courses are held in Olten and run by media specialists from tv-medientrainer.ch. Feedback from those who have completed the courses has been very positive. They are particularly aimed at researchers who have received SNSF funding, and who will therefore be offered cheaper rates.
