About ETH4D Humanitarian Action Challenges (HAC) Grants 2024

The ETH4D Humanitarian Action Challenges aims to support project-based research between ETH Zurich researchers and EPFL researchers and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to leverage science and technology for a greater impact of humanitarian action.

Program Details

Proposals need to address a clearly defined research question that aims to increase the impact of humanitarian action. Humanitarian Action Challenges must develop, test, evaluate or implement an innovative product, policy or service – involving a technology that responds to a specific humanitarian challenge.

The team must consist of at least one main applicant from ETH who holds a PhD, and at least one partner from the ICRC.

  • It is encouraged (but not mandatory) to have one partner from a low- or lower-middle-income country, one from EPFL (which allows for a parallel external pagesubmission at EPFL) or a partner from another humanitarian organisation. Partners from the rest of the ETH Domain (PSI, WSL, Empa, and Eawag) are welcome to join as co-applicants.
  • If the main applicant is not an ETH professor, a letter of commitment by the ETH host professor or head of the unit, indicating their financial contribution to the project, must accompany the proposal.
