Seed Money Grants 2020: Scientific Exchange between Researchers from Swiss and Latin American

UN Habitat Call for Proposals: Rehabilitation and Reactivation of Public Spaces in Lebanon

Deadline: 3 June 2020

The State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) has mandated the University of St.Gallen as Leading House for the Latin American Region (LH) for the bilateral collaboration with partner institutions in Switzerland and Latin America for the period 2017-2020, and to explore new research in the region.

The goal of the Seed Money Grants is to strengthen or initiate scientific exchange between researchers from Swiss and Latin American institutions in all disciplines by enabling them to jointly undertake preliminary research and organize meetings, conferences, or workshops.

The current call for Seed Money Grants 2020 aims to promote mono- or interdisciplinary projects and involve bilateral or multilateral partnerships with all Latin American countries.

The current COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that international challenges such as global health, climate change, the preservation of flora and fauna, the end of poverty and other deprivations can best be tackled by solutions that extend beyond national borders.
