SNSF initiative for Funding Precompetitive Research (precoR)

precoR supports research projects with a focus on basic scientific achievements which enable the development of a future commercial application.
The initiative is again limited to proposals in Materials Science or Fabrication Technology.
With precoR proposals, the funding of salaries, research funds and instruments can be requested. Collaboration with industrial partners is encouraged but not mandatory.
The precoR panel consists of members of Division II of the SNSF Research Council, experts from CTI (Commission for Technology and Innovation) and members from SwissMEM. More information can be found on the SNSF dedicated page and on the call info.
