Procedure
Special projects (application amount greater than CHF 50,000) must be submitted to our office in advance. Please email a project abstract, the proposed application amount and any other documents you deem relevant to contact@haslerstiftung.ch.
Applications submitted without prior clarification will not be processed.
Criteria
Research Projects:
Special projects supplement the support for research available from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF; pure research) and the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse; applied research) in those cases where, although they meet the quality standard criteria of the support organisations, projects don’t fall within their spectrum of support, either for formal or other reasons.
Applications that have already been submitted to the SNF or Innosuisse in an identical or similar form may, irrespective of the rulings made by these bodies, no longer be submitted to the Hasler Foundation. Every application must be substantiated, for which reason it cannot be submitted to SNF or Innosuisse.
The applications are evaluated according to excellence criteria (similar to SNF) by several international reviewers.
Education projects:
Education project must have ICT education in their core, have a potential of nationwide impact and clearly address an existing funding gap.
Projects of teacher training colleges as well as researchers in educational sciences at universities, which deal with computer science didactics and specifically with didactic impact research, as well as joint projects of PHs and universities, which also serve the qualification in the 3rd cycle, are very welcome.
