How is SNSF-funded research related to the UN’s sustainability goals? Our explorative analysis shows: many projects deal with such topics – often collaboratively and across disciplines. More in the #SNSFDataStories. sohub.io/aix0

Grantees of our project funding scheme have been involving partners in their projects since 2017. 47% of grants now include partners, mainly based in Switzerland or in other European countries. More on project partners in our #SNSFDataStories. sohub.io/kgg1

What can we do to improve working conditions for #EarlyCareerResearchers? The results of an SNSF survey will help to further dialogue with researchers’ representatives and with the higher education institutions. sohub.io/d02d

70 years of funding in figures: the SNSF invests about a billion Swiss francs annually in research. This has evolved over time, as the #SNSFDataStories show. data.snf.ch/stories/70-years… #SNSF70

Europe in demand: more than 50% of postdocs spend their SNSF fellowship in a European country. North America used to have the greatest pull, but it's now showing a downward trend. More numbers and trends for #PostdocMobility in the #SNSFDataStories. sohub.io/lb3g

New figures show how much less money Swiss institutions received from EU research programmes in the 2014-2017 period. Our analysis also confirms the important role of Switzerland and the UK with respect to research excellence. #SNSFDataStories sohub.io/2f6p

Openly available data from the SNSF enables a multifaceted analysis of our research funding. At a #DataVisualization hackathon, the topic of sustainability was explored and visualized. #SNSFDataStories data.snf.ch/stories/usage-sn…

The SNSF invested 881 million francs in new research projects last year. How much funding did the individual disciplines and higher education institutions receive? You'll now find this and other key figures for 2021 in our data portal. sohub.io/f0pe

In collaboration with Scholars at Risk Switzerland, the SNSF is providing 1 million francs to finance researchers from #Ukraine who can be hosted at a Swiss university. Other measures are in preparation. #StandWithUkraine

High share of female students, but only a minority of female professors - this is still the reality at Swiss universities. Is there also a #LeakyPipeline for SNSF grant applications? More on this in the #SNSFDataStories. #WomenInScienceDay sohub.io/osva

Half for project funding and a quarter for early-career researchers: initial preliminary figures show how much money we approved for new research projects in 2021. See the graphic at #SNSFDataStories. - sohub.io/aqa4

It's easily forgotten that the initiative to ban animal and human testing #CHVote would also prevent human trials. The SNSF-funded IICTs assess important but less researched treatments. Three examples. snf.ch/en/hyaJhBlfsmd618fO/f…

Peer review at the SNSF: 1019 researchers in 89 evaluation panels assess grant applications. Of these, 41 per cent work abroad – a growing trend. More on the development and composition of evaluation panels in the #SNSFDataStories. sohub.io/08c9

Our new “Grant Search” is comprehensive, clear and mobile-compatible. Find out quickly and easily about all the projects and researchers the SNSF is funding. The “Grant Search” supersedes the P3 online database, bringing even greater transparency. sohub.io/0fk6

Regular monitoring helps us take the right measures to promote women in research. In a new series of #SNSFDataStories, we focus on our #GenderMonitoring. The first instalment presents the key figures we rely on. sohub.io/o50i
