FSIO guiding principles for research tenders

FSIO seeks to promote in its research projects the diversity of approaches and methods. In cooperating with various contractors, it seeks to increase the diversification, the interdisciplinarity and the proportional representativeness of Switzerland’s language regions. The FSIO therefore welcomes cooperation between research institutes from different language regions and disciplines. This requires clear lines of responsibility and coordination (contact person, project lead, etc.).
