The BRIDGE funding programme has been implemented jointly by the Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF and Innosuisse - Swiss Innovation Agency since 2017, and consists of the two funding lines Proof of Concept and Discovery.
This short evaluation focuses on BRIDGE Discovery by systematically examining its embedding, goal achievement and impact potential based on completed Discovery projects. The results are used to strategically optimise the programme for the funding period 2025-2028.
