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.
This webpage of SERI (the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation) gives details about the transitional measures, including an elaborated FAQ page.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
