The funded projects include six based at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, two at the Faculty of Medicine, and one at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics. After a two-stage evaluation process, the SNSF selected 67 projects for funding out of the 447 applications evaluated for SNSF Starting Grants 2023. The research projects will run for five years on average and receive average funding of CHF 1.7 million.
