Swissuniversities has published two new calls for projects in the context of the Open Research Data programme associated to the Swiss National Strategy for Open Research Data.
Projects submitted under this call must aim to develop a model curriculum for a specific discipline that integrates research data management (RDM) into the training of PhD students and junior researchers.
As a step towards incentivizing and rewarding ORD practices, interested institutions may submit a project proposal for promoting interinstitutional exchange and the dissemination of best practices for considering ORD practices in recruitment and career advancement processes.
Federal funds are allocated to the higher education institutions via swissuniversities and the matching funds principle applies: institutions are required to cover at least 50 percent of the total project costs from their own resources.
