Apply now: 3rd Structure Call
The 3rd Structure Call of the Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Higher Education Institutions (DIZH) supports cross-university innovation structures with funding of up to CHF 1,2 million.
With the 3rd Structure Call, we are promoting innovation structures that are effective in the long term. We support agile projects that overcome disciplinary and institutional boundaries, enable socially relevant solutions and sustainably strengthen cooperation between universities and practice partners.
Funding of up to CHF 1,2 million per structure is possible. Members of DIZH universities are eligible to apply. Submission deadline: January 28, 2026, 12:00 noon.
The internal submission processes and deadlines are regulated differently at the individual universities. First of all, the responsible offices at the respective university should be contacted. For further, cross-university questions, a Q&A session will take place on October 23.
On August 28, 2025, from 13:00 to 14:00 the Digital Society Initiative will inform members of the University of Zurich in a Zoom event about the 5th DIZH Project Call. This event will also answer UZH specific questions about the 2nd Outreach Call and the 3rd Structure Call. Find the Zoom link here: Link
