The European Commission and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) have concluded the association negotiations to Horizon Europe. The association agreement will allow South Korean researchers to participate in Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe on the same terms as Member States. The signing of the association agreement is expected to take place in the second half of 2024, pending the completion of all necessary ratification procedures on both sides. This will enable South Korea's participation in Horizon Europe as associated country as of 2025. See this press release for more information.
