Presentation of SNIS funded projects: tendering procedure 2010

The Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS) is pleased to invite to its Launch Event. The winning projects in the framework of the 2010 Call for Proposals are the focus of this event.

The project coordinators will individually present their projects and address topics such as challenges in interdisciplinary research, working with International Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations as well as methods applied and best practices when operating with researchers located in various countries.
 
Young researchers will also be celebrated: the laureates of the recently created awards – the SNIS Award for the best thesis in international studies and the International Geneva Award – will be congratulated and rewarded at this event.
 
A keynote speech on how to achieve an optimised collaboration between Academia and International Organisations as well as a panel on the subject of academic excellence and policy relevance will gather research officers of International Organisations, diplomats and academics from Swiss universities.
