ENLIGHT Calls 2025

ENLIGHT Calls attract large interest

There were 50% more applicants for ENLIGHT funding from people based at the University of Bern compared to 2024. In total, 150 lecturers and researchers applied for an ENLIGHT grant — 50 more than last year.

Across the entire alliance, more than 1,200 people applied for ENLIGHT funding, which represents a 20% increase. This signals a strong interest in participating in ENLIGHT.

Of all the projects submitted, 67 were for a Thematic Network. Thirty of these projects included people from Bern. Nine of the 37 Incubator Grants applications included participants from the University of Bern.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to prepare an application. These will now be reviewed, and applicants will be notified in November.
