Research Promotion Service: Our Services
SPR Vision
We help UniFR research flourish!
SPR Mission
The SPR offers itself as UniFr's entry point for all aspects of research funding.
We work hand-in-hand with all researchers at the University of Fribourg, helping them in their endeavour to acquire research funding, and dispensing information and advice on internal, national, European and international funding initiatives. We belong to the Euresearch network and as part of this mandate we not only foster researchers but also SMEs in the cantons of FR and VS when it comes to their participation in European research and innovation programmes. We also manage some internal funds.
We inform and advise the Rectorate on research-related issues and are the focal point for other services on research-related questions.
Our interactions with the research community and other interested parties are personal, unbureaucratic, structured and goal-oriented. We thrive for excellence.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
