Switzerland gains broader access to Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programmes

The European Commission and the Federal Council have adopted a transitional arrangement that will allow Swiss researchers and innovators to participate more extensively in EU research programs starting January 1, 2025.

Swiss participants will be able to join most project calls within Horizon Europe and the Euratom program as beneficiaries, including taking on coordinator roles. They will also gain access to the Digital Europe Program (DEP), though with some limitations in strategic areas such as cybersecurity and semiconductors.

This development represents a significant opportunity for Swiss research institutions and innovative companies to fully engage with European research initiatives and strengthen international scientific collaboration.
