The Swiss Network for International Studies promotes academic research in the interdisciplinary area of International Studies with an interest in phenomena that transcend traditional nation-state boundaries. It supports different perspectives by valuing contributions from a diverse group of academic researchers including political scientists, economists, legal scholars, social and cultural anthropologists, historians, sociologists, geographers, environmental and public health scientists, as well as other academics.
Thematic areas of interest include environment, development, health, human rights, and education, among others, as well as topics such as international and civil wars, sustainable development, public health, migration and refugees, gender issues, globalisation, trade and financial markets, human and cultural rights, and European politics.

In its annual call for projects the SNIS invites academic researchers active in international studies to submit project proposals. The project grants run for two years and range from 100,000 to 300,000 Swiss Francs.
Eligibility
Eligible institutions can submit project proposals that qualify as:
- International studies: Projects carry out research on global issues that are either relevant in the international arena or at least concern multiple countries simultaneously. The SNIS considers that International Studies deal not only with the analysis of international relations, but also with political, economic, social, environmental, legal, health, scientific and development issues.
- Pluri-disciplinary studies: Projects are pluri-disciplinary and they can include disciplines from the social and natural sciences
Submission deadline: 13th January 2016
