Bringing together Swiss and international Professors with expertise in one or several areas relevant to international studies, the Scientific Committee is responsible for the scientific evaluation of project proposals for research grants.

The Scientific Committee:

  • guarantees the selection and evaluation of the research projects funded by the SNIS
  • selects research projects submitted in the annual Call for Projects
  • evaluates the funded projects in their intermediary phase and their final version
