As communicated before in this news article the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the European Commission have finalised the negotiations regarding the association of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) to Horizon Europe in March 2024. Signing of the association agreement will be expected to take place in 2025.

As of 1 January 2025 the transitional arrangements are also applicable to the Republic of Korea which enable South Korean entities to be added as beneficiaries to projects proposals in the calls and activities of pillar 2 of the Horizon Europe programme from the 2025 Work Programme onwards. However do keep in mind that if at the time of the signature of the grant agreement of the approved project, the association agreement has not been signed yet then South Korean partners will need to fund their own participation in the project.
