Call for projects: Apply to the Impact Collaboration Programme (ICP) 2020!

The Geneva Science-Policy Interface (GSPI) works at the intersection of science and policy, leveraging the synergy between actors of international Geneva and an extensive network of researchers to promote the development of effective practices. In 2020, the Impact Collaboration Programme (ICP) will give particular attention to projects that develop or apply methodologies with the aim to foster data-driven decision-making.

The Geneva ecosystem gathers a rich variety of International Organizations, NGOs, foundations, networks, academic institutions and private sector actors that, together, have the potential to design impactful solutions to some of the most complex challenges of the 21st century. The Geneva Science-Policy Interface supports this work by facilitating opportunities for collaboration and partnership between Geneva-based international policy actors and scientific institutions in Switzerland and beyond.

The time and resources to initiate or boost purposeful collaborations early on can make all the difference to successful and sustainable collaborations in the long run. The Impact Collaboration Programme (ICP) provides seed funding and in-kind support to build and boost science-policy partnerships so that they can create a foundation of trust, aligned interests and cooperation to deliver real impact.

Maximum 40,000 CHF per project (120,000 CHF total for projects selected in 2020) and in-kind support as needed. Projects must be completed within a year.

The call supports projects that stem from consortia including researchers and international organisations and/or global NGOs. Researchers can be affiliated to any academic institution in the world, whereas international organisations and global NGOs must come from the Geneva ecosystem. Either side can apply to the call.
