Summary:
The ETH4D Humanitarian Action Challenges (HAC) Grants 2024 provide support for project-based research collaborations between researchers from ETH Zurich, EPFL, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The objective is to harness science and technology to enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian action. The projects should focus on addressing well-defined research questions that aim to amplify the impact of humanitarian efforts. Additionally, the projects should involve the development, testing, evaluation, or implementation of innovative products, policies, or services that tackle specific humanitarian challenges. A key requirement is the co-creation of technologies by both scientists and humanitarian professionals.
Sponsor:
The ETH Zurich Foundation, in cooperation with the ICRC
Eligibility:
Each team applying for the ETH4D Humanitarian Action Challenges (HAC) Grants 2024 must include a main applicant from ETH Zurich holding a PhD, as well as a partner from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). It is encouraged, though not mandatory, to have additional partners from low- or lower-middle-income countries, EPFL, or other humanitarian organizations.

In cases where the main applicant is not an ETH professor, a letter of commitment from the ETH host professor or head of the unit, indicating their financial contribution to the project, must be included with the proposal.
