A transitional arrangement allows researchers and innovators in Switzerland to participate in almost all calls for proposals of Horizon Europe, the Euratom programme and Digital Europe, from the 2025 programme year onwards. They can apply as beneficiaries in almost all calls. The budget of the Swiss partner must be included in the total grant amount that the consortium is requesting from the EU. 

Though be aware of the following.

  • Concerning Horizon Europe: Switzerland's participation in calls for proposals in areas considered strategic by the EU (including quantum and space) will be the subject of technical discussions with the European Commission.
  • Concerning Digital Europe: Specific Objectives 3 (Cybersecurity) and 6 (Semiconductors) are exceptions; they are only accessible to EU member states and, to a limited extent, to countries in the European Economic Area (EEA).

This webpage of SERI (the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation) gives details about the transitional measures, including an elaborated FAQ page.

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
