You will find the grants table also on our website.

As we had many questions concerning traineeships in Switzerland, I would like to clarify a few details: in order to be eligible for funding, students have to apply at a Swiss HEI (usually a partner institution of the student’s home institution) even if the traineeship will take place at an enterprise or another organisation. However, it is the Swiss HEI in question that makes the grant award decision – according to their resources and priorities.

For Strategic Partnerships and Knowledge Alliances: Swiss HEI or organisations can participate in two ways: either as full partners under the condition that they bring an added value to the project (and on top of the minimum number of partners from programme countries) or within the framework of the Swiss interim solution (as an associated partner with national funding). You will find additional information on our website.

As many of you may already know, the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation has mandated a new National Agency to implement the interim solution for Erasmus+. The name of the new Swiss National Agency is “Movetia exchange and mobility”. The transition of tasks and responsibilities from the ch Foundation to Movetia will be finished in the end of 2016 and Movetia employs a large number of employees that worked for the ch Foundation before, including me and my colleague Catherine Carron (please note the new email addresses: amanda.crameri@movetia.ch and catherine.carron@movetia.ch).  

In case of questions or problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you very much once again for your support and as the year is slowly drawing to a close, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
