Published on | 3 weeks ago

Programmes Horizon Europe HorizonEU L+F Digital Europe

On 10 November 2025, Switzerland and the EU signed an agreement enabling Swiss participation in Horizon Europe and Digital Europe and Euratom, and this retroactively to 1 January 2025. This means that researchers and innovators can participate as beneficiaries in Horizon Europe and Digital Europe from the 2025 programme year onwards and can submit project proposals in the role of coordinators.

Many details about participation of Switzerland in Horizon Europe and Digital Europe can be found in an extensive FAQ list of SERI, the Swiss administration.

Regarding participation in strategic areas:

  • in Horizon Europe Switzerland receives full access to calls for proposals in strategic areas (artificial intelligence, quantum, communication and network technologies, and space sensitive research topics). Access to certain calls for proposals in the field of space within Horizon Europe is currently still being clarified. 
  • In Digital Europe: Switzerland cannot participate in call topics in Specific Objective 3 (cybersecurity) and 6 (semiconductors)

 

Additionally, the agreement lays the groundwork for Switzerland’s future participation in other EU programmes like Erasmus+ (expected to begin in 2027) and EU4Health, which is contingent upon the health agreement's activation within the Switzerland-EU package.
