Financial Support

  • The Research Pool  is aimed at stimulating research at the University of Fribourg by supporting projects that cannot be financed by third-party funding. It thus acts as a complementary instrument to such external programs as those of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). More informations here.
  • The University of Fribourg Centenary Research Fund is aimed at Unifr researchers and is intended to support research activities that contribute to the intellectual influence of the institution. More informations here.

 

You can find all of the University of Fribourg's internal funding here.
