Research funding for nanoresearch Successful SNI members In 2025, researchers from the Swiss Nanoscience Institute once again successfully procured funding from national and inter- national funding programs such as the European Research Council (ERC) or the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). These externally funded research projects also benefit research supported by the SNI. In the online magazine SNI INSight, we regularly report on newly launched projects and, by doing so, hope to contribute to the active and lively exchange of ideas within the network.
