The Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS) launches its fourth Call for Projects
Deadline: 5th January 2011
The SNIS offers project research grants in the order of 100’000 to 300’000 Swiss Francs for a two-year period. In order to be eligible for SNIS funding the submitted projects must qualify as:
- International studies: projects must be comparative, addressing cross-border issues, i.e. the research question must bear on at least two different nations (i.e. how do transnational corporate social responsibility standards shape labor conditions in China and Taiwan)
- Pluri-disciplinary: projects teams must be composed of experts from different scientific backgrounds. The project must be elaborated jointly by all applicants
The SNIS considers that International Studies deal not only with the analysis of international relations, but also with political, economic, social, environmental, legal, health, scientific and development issues. It welcomes proposals from both the social and natural sciences and combinations thereof. For an overview of SNIS supported projects and disciplines please refer to the ‘Projects’ section on the webpage.
