Two-stage submission and review process
- The main mission of this call is to foster new interdisciplinary research collaborations within the ENAC community.

- Successful proposals will be awarded up to 400kCHF if they involve two PIs and up to 500kCHF if they involve three or four PIs.
- Projects should run for 2 or 3 years
- Scientific assistants, PhD students or post-doctoral researchers can be hired on the granted projects and will be attached to the laboratories of all PIs involved to further promote the exchange between ENAC laboratories.
