Programmes Horizon Europe HorizonEU L+F Digital EuropeOn 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.

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.

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
