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.

  • Concerning Horizon Europe: Switzerland's participation in calls for proposals in areas considered strategic by the EU (including quantum and space) will be the subject of technical discussions with the European Commission.
  • Concerning Digital Europe: Specific Objectives 3 (Cybersecurity) and 6 (Semiconductors) are exceptions; they are only accessible to EU member states and, to a limited extent, to countries in the European Economic Area (EEA).

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

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
