The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia is looking to support research-based and process-oriented programs that foster exchange between art, science and technology involving organizations in Switzerland and across the world.

From hackathons to fellowships, residencies to think tanks – the Synergies open call offers support of CHF 20,000 – CHF 150,000 for international collaborations and encourages programs that spark new approaches and methodologies and connect knowledge from different contexts.

If the following applies to your envisioned program, it fits the open call:

• You are looking for a frame in which you can test, build and further develop research- and process-oriented formats at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
• Your program enables meaningful international collaboration besides developing and strengthening new and existing networks between art, science, and technology.
• Your program aims at artistic and cultural practitioners through networking, residencies, research, and exchange formats.

The support is allotted to the program’s conceptualization, creation, and implementation. This may include artists’ fees, travel, and material costs. The organizations’ infrastructure costs (building, renting, etc.) and operational costs (salaries, insurance, etc.) will not be supported.

Apply until 2.10.2023!
