Switzerland extends funding guarantee for participation in Horizon Europe

The Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) has pledged to continue reimbursing the costs of Swiss partners in approved Horizon Europe and Euratom projects for the 2023 calls.

The Swiss government is hereby responding to the fact that Switzerland is currently not associated to the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe (2021-2027). Swiss institutions can therefore not receive funding from Horizon Europe. However, they can participate in Horizon Europe projects as "Associated Partners".

"Associated Partners" carry out essential project tasks but do not receive EU funding and cannot take on the administrative coordination of projects.
