MARVIS – Space research with the SNSF
Multidisciplinary Applied Research Ventures in Space call 2024
MARVIS stands for “Multidisciplinary Applied Research Ventures in Space.” Through it, the SNSF aims not only to promote the development of core competencies in space research, but also to strengthen Switzerland's position in future-oriented areas of research and innovation.
It focuses on three areas, in particular: the contribution of space travel to a sustainable future, ensuring a rapid response in emergency situations and protecting space assets.
This funding scheme has been commissioned by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). The proposals are evaluated in two steps: First, the SNSF evaluates the scientific and technical quality of the project. In Step 2 of the evaluation, the SERI will evaluate the project according to the space, research and innovation policy. MARVIS funding can have a duration of between one and seven years. Initially, a maximum duration of four years is funded for the projects. A subsequent application for extension is possible (Art. 4 of the call for proposals document).

Please note: Industry partners can be from abroad. For them, the same MARVIS rules and conditions apply as for Swiss industries.
