ENAC aims, via its Clusters and close collaboration with Interdisciplinary Centers, at stimulating the researchers to think across boundaries and envision all-encompassing solutions to critical societal problems.
It is still often a challenge to obtain substantial third-party funding for research projects that are based on interdisciplinary approaches and to convince the scientific community of a new approach that goes beyond the state-of-the-art in more than a single discipline. The ENAC dean’s office has therefore been financing interdisciplinary research projects through internal calls for proposals.
The “ENAC Flagship projects” call was launched on September 12, 2022, to foster new interdisciplinary research collaborations within the ENAC community. The successful projects are awarded up to 500kCHF and will run for 3 years. You can read about the 3 funded Flagship projects here.
