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.
