The Open Science Micro-Grants Scheme supports researchers at the University of St. Gallen in taking concrete, practical steps toward more open and reproducible research. Designed to lower time and resource barriers, the scheme provides targeted funding for clearly defined improvements such as first-time preregistration, preparing and sharing data or code, developing reproducibility packages, or integrating Citizen Science elements into research projects.
This grant scheme is currently in a pilot phase funded by swissuniversities.
The grant is intended to fund projects and activities for up to 12 months that go beyond applicants’ regular research, teaching, or dissemination activities and that produce a clearly defined open science (OS) output. Funded projects should contribute to making research processes, data, code, methods, teaching materials, or research findings more accessible, reusable, and transparent.
Applications are open to academic academic employees at HSG who are engaged in research and are employed at HSG for the full duration of the proposed project. Applicants must hold an employment contract of at least 50% at HSG.
The current funding round is closed, and recipients of the 2026 HSG Open Science Office grants will be announced and listed on this website soon. If you want to stay informed about upcoming opportunities, follow us on LinkedIn.
