UZH Global Funding Scheme

The UZH Global Funding Scheme supports faculties, departments, and professional service units in developing and implementing joint initiatives with international partners that advance the objectives of the UZH Global Strategy 2030.

The scheme harnesses the global networking potential of the University of Zurich (UZH) community by mobilizing scalable and

high-impact bottom-up initiatives from researchers and units across the university, in particular through collaboration with Network and Priority Partners as well as relevant non-academic actors operating at the interface between science, policy, and diplomacy.
