Signature of the Performance Agreement (F-4) is a preliminary to become a Host Institution
Any Eligible Swiss Institution must sign a Performance Agreement before it can host researchers (for short-term visits or for a research stay) within Sciex-NMSch.
The Performance Agreement is signed once and is valid for the whole duration of the Sciex-NMSch from August 2009 to April 2016.
Signature of the Charter & Code (PDF) is also a preliminary to become a Host Institution
As a preliminary for signing the Performance Agreement, the Research institution must officially adhere to the Charter & Code. The respective statement is included in the Performance Agreement.
Function of the Swiss Charter & Code Supporter
The Host Institution's Board nominates a "Charter & Code Supporter" to the institution, who will be a member of the Swiss EURAXESS Network.
The Charter & Code Supporter coordinates the Institution's efforts to provide Sciex research placements and ensures that Sciex-NMSch researchers enjoy the typically Swiss high quality conditions and support structures, while they are on a Sciex research placement.
