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.

AI4Culture - Empowering Cultural Heritage through Artificial Intelligence

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
