Call for Application University of Zurich - Global Strategy and Partnerships Funding Scheme

19 February, 2023

Third call within the UZH Global Strategy and Partnerships Funding Scheme.

Applications can again be submitted on three different levels (Travel Fund, Seed Fund, Project Fund)

The UZH Global Strategy and Partnerships Funding Scheme supports UZH faculties, departments and professional service units in pursuing activities that strengthen the impact of the global UZH network in line with the UZH Global Strategy.

Partner universities

The funding scheme is open to joint collaboration initiatives with specific partner universities of the University of Zurich (see list (PDF, 80 KB). This list has been established together with the faculties and will be adjusted every year.

Three Funding Lines

3 Level System


Level 1: Travel Fund

  • Only for individual UZH outgoing researchers and staff.
  • For establishing first contacts, e.g. to explore compatibility and ideas for joint activities in the future.
  • Applicants may request up to 1,200 CHF as a contribution to travel and accommodation expenses.
  • Allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Open all year.

Level 2: Seed Fund

  • For exploring specific collaborative ideas in a group setting, such as a joint workshop, event or specific smaller project.
  • Applicants may request up to 5,000 CHF per initiative from UZH and are invited to seek co-funding from the partner institution.
  • Expected outcomes:
    • specific plan of action for further collaboration
    • identification of external funding

Level 3: Project Fund

  • For deepening existing collaborations with potential of high impact/visibility for UZH.
  • Examples for projects include (but are not limited to) comprehensive research activities, establishing joint formats in teaching and research (incl. financing of teaching assistants, PhD students etc.) or initiatives that support the application of large-scale external funding.
  • Applicants may request up to 60,000 CHF per initiative from UZH, must submit proof of internal co-funding and are strongly encouraged to seek co-funding from the partner institution.

Matching funds from partners

UZH’s partner universities have the option of matching UZH’s funding at Level 2 and Level 3 but are not obliged to. However, applications that demonstrate matched funding from partner institutions will be given priority. For Level 3, matching funds from another UZH unit are required.

Timeline

 

Level 1 is a rolling call where funds are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Applications must be submitted a minimum of four weeks prior to departure from UZH (see Travel Fund). Calls for proposals for Levels 2 and 3 are open twice a year. The dates for calls in 2023 are:
