Internal research funding

University of St.Gallen (HSG)

Scientific research at the HSG is promoted by the HSG Research Commission (FoKo). It acts at the same time as an official body of the University of St. Gallen and as an official body of the Swiss National Science Foundation. An overview of the internal funds can be found on the website of the Research Commission and on the Researchweb of the HSG.

Within the framework of the Basic Research Fund (GFF), FoKo supports internal research projects, publication projects and funds research talks and congress contributions as well as the «International Postdoctoral Fellowships»:

•  The start-up funding supports HSG researchers in preparing project proposals in basic research. Read more on the Researchweb
