Scholarship in Switzerland for researchers from the MENA region Swiss Connect

The Connect & Collaborate Grants (CCG) call aims to strengthen the visibility, accessibility, and societal relevance of research collaborations between Switzerland and the MENA region. By supporting communication-focused initiatives, the CCG encourages researchers to engage with diverse audiences, share knowledge beyond academic circles, and foster dialogue across disciplines, sectors, and cultures.

This funding instrument is open both to researchers who are involved or have recently finished a project funded by the LHMENA, and to any other collaborative initiatives with an eligible country of the MENA region. Eligible activities include, but are not limited to, scientific publications, creation of communication materials towards a non-academic audience, organization of events (scientific conferences, workshops, meetings).
