Open to all topics.
The 2025 edition of the Collaborative Research on Science and Society (CROSS) program calls upon researchers at EPFL and the University of Lausanne to submit proposals that deal with current issues in society and technology, associating specialists in the human and social sciences on the one hand, with specialists in the life sciences, natural sciences or engineering on the other.
Through this annual call for projects, CROSS provides competitive grants to support new seed research endeavors that have the potential to grow into full–scale interdisciplinary research projects.
The 2025 CROSS call will be open to all topics.
Submission of applications
Project proposals must be submitted by an interdisciplinary team made up of at least one researcher from each of the institutions (EPFL and UNIL): one specialist in the human and social sciences and one specialist in the life sciences, natural sciences or engineering.
