The Romanian-Swiss Research Programme (RSRP) is aimed at research groups in Switzerland and in Romania who wish to conduct a joint research project. A single call was opened for the programme on 30 September 2011 and closed on 31 January 2012. 

A total of 65 applications were submitted for the RSRP, of which 26 were approved; total funding amounted to CHF 10.4 million (85% from the Swiss side, 15% from the Romanian side).
