Project reporting

Reports during your project
Requesting changes to your innovation project
Questions and answers on the subject

In June 2024, the ongoing Innosuisse projects will be transferred to the Innolink portal. From around mid-July 2024, reports (milestone and final reports as well as financial reports) can be submitted directly by the project partners in Innolink. Reports can still be submitted using the previous forms until 15.05.2024.

As a project partner, you must submit reports during your innovation project. These serve to check the course of the project. You must also request any important changes to the project.

NOTE: Please send all your reports and adjustment requests by e-mail to innoprojects@innosuisse.ch.

Reports during your project

The letter of approval of your application and the subsidy contract will specify the number of reports and their deadlines for
your innovation project:

A report is due 10 days after reaching your project milestone. The conditions may also allow for several milestone reports.
If the project approval includes a Go/No-Go decision, you must submit a milestone report to Innosuisse 10 days after reaching the milestone.
Extensions: If you do not complete your innovation project within the anticipated time frame according to the project plan, you can apply for an extension without increasing the budget by submitting a fully completed milestone report.
An interim financial report need only be submitted at the express request of Innosuisse.

To enter the material costs, please note the document eligible material costs (PDF, 111 kB, 08.03.2024).

Requesting changes to your innovation project

Significant changes to the project must be reported to Innosuisse by means of the milestone report, where necessary together with a request for minor changes to the budget or additional funds. In particular, this applies to changes of project partners, changes to the scope of the project and project objectives, changes to project planning, and project changes with financial implications. You can apply for an extension without increasing the budget by submitting the completed milestone report.

Questions and answers on the subject

Project reporting and requesting changes to your innovation project

Does an interim financial report have to be submitted?

Financial interim reports only have to be submitted if expressly requested by Innosuisse.

What evidence for the financial report must be submitted by the implementation partner?

The implementation partner must complete and sign the “Contributions by the implementation partner” Excel document. The cover sheet and the second tab “Calculation of personnel costs” must be submitted.

What influence, if any, does the Innosuisse funding determined in the final statement of accounts have on the implementation partners’ contribution?

The implementation partners’ contribution is based on the project budget set out in the subsidy contract and therefore remains unchanged in terms of the amount.

What impact does a lower own contribution (<40-60%) by the implementation partners have on the amount paid out?

If the implementation partners do not contribute to the extent defined in the subsidy contract without providing adequate reasons/justification, Innosuisse’s funding may also be reduced accordingly.
