Promotion of Research Funding

Research Professional

The University of Bern has a subscription to Research Professional, a database of research funding opportunities covering all scholarly disciplines, that can be used free of charge by all researchers at the University of Bern and the Inselspital. Research Professional features search and customisation tools to help you find appropriate funding for your research.

The database includes a comprehensive list of national, European, and international funding opportunities from a variety of funders, e.g. funding agencies, universities, companies, foundations, etc. The open calls of the EU Framework Programs as well as from the Swiss National Science Foundation are included.

You can access the website directly from any computer within the university network incl. Inselspital (or from anywhere with VPN), or set up personalized access.

Once you have entered the website, you can also register and set up your own account. This personalized access allows you to tailor the available information in Research Professional to your needs (personal settings, alerts, etc.). Further advantages of a personal account: You can log in from anywhere, also outside the university network.
