Indo-Swiss Joint Research Programme (ISJRP)

As part of the bilateral programmes with India, the SNSF and the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) are launching a call for proposals in the field of social sciences.

This call for joint research projects (JRPs) allows researchers in Switzerland to collaborate with academic partners in India.

The proposed topics in the field of social sciences are the following:

  • Digital governance, AI ethics and the social impact of AI
  • Inequality, justice, inclusion
  • Mobility and social integration
  • Economic transformation

The SNSF will cover the costs of projects in Switzerland, while the ICSSR will fund the costs of projects in India. The duration of the JRPs is exactly three years, and the maximum funding for a three-year project is 300,000 Swiss francs.

The budget available for this call will enable 10 projects to be funded, provided that a sufficient number of high-quality projects are submitted.
