FGSE Investment Fund (FINV)

The Deanship is committed to supporting through the FINV projects that constitute, in research or research infrastructure, investments for the Faculty. This fund also serves to amortize previous investments by encouraging their replacement when necessary. The fund offers 7 distinct reasons for financing, which can be summarized in 4 categories :

• Projects and infrastructure with 50% matching funds (e.g. SNSF), projects and infrastructure (> CHF 50'000) without matchings (e.g. education),
• Seed funding of projects (outside SNSF standards) capped at CHF 20'000,
• Support for a Faculty workshop,
• Support for projects related to Faculty Centres or international agreements,

One or two campaigns are launched each year and the Research Commission notifies the requests for the Décanat.

 Example of guideline (regularly updated, only the document sent to each campaign is valid)

Any person within the UNIL community who is the author of a scientific publication must deposit on Serval UNIL academic server, the PDF of his/her articles (journal, etc.) and book sections (chapters, etc.) and create a notice with links to the authors and units (see UNIL Open Access Directive). This in no way restricts your choice of publication in terms of format, timing or publisher.

In principle, the PDF cannot be modified or deleted once the notice has been published.

Useful information and guidelines can be found here :

• How to use SERVAL: Video Tutorials
• Papago : Personalized tool to know  funding possibilities, rights and obligations regarding OA publications.
• Understand OA at UNIL

To update their publication list on Serval, researchers can :

• Export their publications from WoS (Web of Science) in Endnote format, then import them in Serval.
• Create a link between their ORCID number and Serval in their Unisciences webpage, in order to import their publications to Serval (Video Tutorial UNIL).

• Guidelines from the FNS

The research data storing facility from the Scientific Computing and Research Support Unit from the IT Centre (DCSR) offers a NAS to store research data. The responsible research project leaders (Pl) from UNIL can request a storage space for a generic project "fourre-tout" and several identified projects (SNSF, UE, UNIL…). A contribution to the resource cost (see costs) will be  charged to the PI according to the  Ci general conditions.

The DCSR-Ci UNIL offers also a high-performance computing service (HPC) ; UNIL members can request a computing capacity (see operating costs).

The SWITCHdrive service is a Cloud that allows storing, synchronising and sharing files. It is a good alternative solution to Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive: SWITCH data are stored in Switzerland and respect the federal law on data protection (LPD) and UNIL directives.

To find a specialist or generalist data repository, the FNS suggests the use of re3data.org registry.

Commonly used repositories :

• FORS : Swiss repository in social sciences, based at UNIL
• SwissUbase : new research data archive at UNIL
• ZENODO : CERN generic repository, free up to a certain volume, accepted by the FNS
• Dryad : Generic repository, free up to a certain volume, accepted by the FNS
