Research funding
There are numerous options for securing funding as a researcher employed at or wishing to join ETH Zurich. The Office of Research is your access point for national and international funding schemes, respectively. Industry Relations can help you finding funding for industry collaborations.
ETH Zurich also runs a number of competitive internal programmes such as the ETH Fellowships, the ETH Research Grants, the ETH Career Seed Awards, the ETH Doc.Mobility Fellowships, and the external pageBranco Weiss Fellowships. The ETH Pioneer Fellowships promote the development of innovative products and services.
Special emphasis is put on supporting young researchers.
There are more options for funding than you might think. Projects, fellowships, travels, equipment - you name it. Check out external pageResearch Professional, a comprehensive database of funding schemes that is freely accessible to ETH researchers (on campus or via VPN).

SDSC Calls for Projects
The Swiss Data Science Centre (SDSC) is launching its first national calls for collaborative projects starting in 2025. The call process enables SDSC to identify and engage in high-impact projects and collaborations, and is an important tool for the fair allocation of resources. The calls for collaborative projects focus on the following areas:
- The 2024 Call for Collaborative Research Data Science Projects will offer to contribute in-kind expertise in statistical data science, machine learning and AI to research projects in different application domains.
- The 2024 Call for End-User Innovation Projects aims to ensure that novelty developed in an academic or research context achieves its full potential in end-user contexts, serving a community or society at large, e.g. public institutions, industrial and/or economic stakeholders.
- The 2024 Call for Collaborative Open Research Data (ORD) Infrastructure Projects aims to advance the Swiss National ORD Strategy by fostering collaborative development of sustainable and reusable data and software infrastructure that empowers open research practices.
