“To achieve our goals, we need to be willing and above all able to

take risks. This involves aiming to achieve great success with all the

potential positive effects, while also accepting the risk of making

a mistake or failing without it being the end of the world.”

INNOVATION PROJECT

MARKET INFLUENCE

How an innovation project works


Promotion criteria remain the same:• Innovation degree (novelty of scientific and economic approach)• Quality of methodology (quality of the project set-up: f.e. quantified goals

and milestones)• Competences of the project partners to run the project and for intended

market implementation • Sustainability and value added in Switzerland.

Promotion criteria remain the same, but someconditions have been improved!


• Project accompaniment incl. go/no-go review by experts• Stronger focus on new, unexperienced project partners and projects in

critical phases• Payment by instalments (mostly in 3 tranches with at least 20% for the last

tranche)• Overhead contribution (the maximum of 15% remains)• Projects without implementation partner are still eligible• Rules on IP / licensing remains the same.

What remains?



What is new? (I)

Concept of salary costs• Before average costs per research staff category and research institution are replaced

by a hourly tariff cap for each staff category• Max. tariff per category are provided in the online application tool;

approval of a funding cap• Cash contribution is a calculated amount of 10%, according to the rule• Decisive: contract is based on effective gross salary of each researcher!

• After approval of application, the effective costs must be communicated• For the implementation partner the same rule does apply for the hourly rate

a) Two versions of calculating salary costs possible in the agreement: Version 1: Annual salary x percentage share of project work, Version 2: Standard costs / hour x working hours for project

(precondition: accounting system is externally audited and certified)• Innosuisse requirements list under discussion until the end of April• Audit and certification required from 2019; interim solution with the approval of the research

partner’s finance department applies in 2018

b) Effective hourly salary rates are decisive:• Effective salary costs can be adjusted annually up to cost ceiling• Effective employer social insurance contributions (no 20% fixed rate)

What is new? (II)

New caps on expenses for labour costsFunction 2017

(hourly rate as mean value)

2018(hourly rate as

cost ceiling)

ceiling, absolute maximum)

Project leader CHF 105

CHF 119

CHF 220 500Deputy project leader CHF 87

Experienced scientist CHF 71

Scientific collaborator CHF 60 CHF 68 CHF 126 000 Skilled worker CHF 54 CHF 61 CHF 113 400

PhD and auxiliary CHF 32 CHF 46 CHF 85 100

Ex: researcher, who is engagedin both, asproject leaderand asexperiencedscientist, will getthe same tariff. In justifiedcases, subsidizing ofmore than 20% of the work asproject leader ispossible.

Material costs are chargeable:• Explicitly regulated in implementing regulations• If project-specific and non-standard equipment and in reasonable ratio to

salary costs• Use of specific research infrastructure is chargeable as utilisation rate (f.e.

clean room using for 2 hours)• Travelling costs inside Europe (not within Switzerland) and intercontinental

travelling.

Degree of innovation

Quality of method

Project partner expertise

• Research and implementation partners need to be independent from each other in financial terms and personnel matters. This means that collaborators of the research partner cannot work for the implementation partner at the same time (f.e. as CEO)

• But, holding of shares, also in cases of SMEs and start-ups without the possibility to influence the business activities will be allowed

• Advisory mandates will be allowed• There will be the possibility for self-declaration by research partners along

with the application

The need of independency between research and implementation partner is fixed in the implementing regulations


Art. 11 of implementing regulations for project promotion• In exceptional cases, additional costs of approved project changes

can be financed by request.• The subsidy contract will be adjusted.

Project amendment with additional costs is possible

check box” in the application. The Innosuisse experts will positively discriminate your application as Bridge fellow, at least for the technical/science-based evaluation. However, the business point of view will need to be

assessed before the acceptance into the “initial coaching”.
