Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)

Based on a government mandate, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) supports scientific research in all academic disciplines. At the end of 2025, the SNSF was funding around 6200 projects involving over 23,000 researchers, making the SNSF the leading Swiss organisation for the promotion of scientific research.

By awarding public research money based on the principle of competition, the SNSF contributes to the high quality of research in Switzerland. In close collaboration with higher education institutions and other partners, the SNSF strives to create the best possible conditions for the development and global interconnectedness of Swiss research. It pays particular attention to the promotion of early-career researchers. In addition, it accepts evaluation mandates to help ensure that large third-party-funded research initiatives deliver the highest scientific quality.

University of Geneva (UNIGE)

Founded in 1559, the University of Geneva (UNIGE) enjoys worldwide recognition and ranks amongst the top 100 best universities in the world. A polyvalent institution, it fosters the emergence of inter- and multidisciplinary fields in both research and teaching. It constantly strengthens its links with international Geneva, whilst contributing to the cultural, social and economic development of the region, notably through the promotion of research and its expertise in a wide range of fields.

The UNIGE is also:
19,078 students, 62% of whom are women
9 Faculties and 13 interfaculty centres and institutes
4,645 employees (FTE)
613 study courses
430 partner institutions in 73 countries
175 joint projects with internationally renowned universities
15 partnership agreements with major international and non-governmental organizations

Just like the city of Geneva itself, the University enjoys a strong international reputation, both for the quality of its research (it ranks among the top institutions among the League of European Research Universities) and the excellence of its education. This acclaim has been won in part due to its strong ties to many national and international Geneva-based organizations, such as the World Health Organization, the International Telecommunications Union, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

NCCR Evolving Language

The Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Evolving Language is a nationwide interdisciplinary research consortium bringing together research groups from the humanities, from language and computer science, the social sciences, and the natural sciences at an unprecedented level. Together, we aim at solving one of humanity’s great mysteries: What is language? How did our species develop the ca­pa­city for linguistic expression, for processing language in the brain, and for con­sist­ently passing down new variations to the next generation? How will our capacity for language change in the face of digital com­munication and neuroengineering?
