Funding
On the basis of the federal decree on credits for research funding institutions for the years 2021-2024, SCNAT is tasked with conducting this initiative with a financial support of MCHF 12.37. This budget has to be met by an equivalent amount of in-kind contributions.
The available funds will be invested to modernise and digitise the collections, to ensure data interoperability, to develop a Swiss Virtual Natural History Collection (SVNHC), to coordinate with the relevant international initiatives and to ensure the sustainable operation of the SVNHC.
Investments of the federal funds follow the rules set in the funding regulations of SwissCollNet and will be subdivided into 3 categories:
| Projects leading to the implementation of the SVNHC | MCHF 1 |
| Two calls for project proposals | MCHF 9.43 |
| Project management and communication | MCHF 1.94 |
