Funds the PRODEX is Switzerland's national channel for developing scientific instruments and subsystems for ESA missions.
PRODEX (Programme de Développement d'Expériences Scientifiques) is Switzerland's national channel for developing scientific instruments and subsystems for ESA missions. Applications are submitted to the Swiss Space Office inside SERI, which conducts a national evaluation; approved projects are then co-evaluated by ESA's PRODEX Office and implemented via ESA. Eligible organisations are Swiss research institutes and universities developing space instrumentation for ESA science missions. The programme is a hybrid delivery: SERI accepts and nationally evaluates applications, while ESA implements approved projects. Award amounts are not publicly disclosed in aggregate; they depend on the scope of the instrument development contract.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
