Abstract

Support Grant and Higher Salaries for Young Researchers

(Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF, June 26, 2013)

The Swiss National Science Foundation's planning for 2013-2015 prioritizes measures to ensure that a sufficient number of young scientists come to the fore in Switzerland. On the one hand, the SNSF introduces the ”120% support grant” for postdoctoral researchers to help them find the right balance between their academic career and family commitments by allowing them to hire a ”support person” and reduce their own working hours. On the other hand, SNSF has decided to modify its salary policy as of 2014 and raise the salaries of doctoral students.
