As the delay in the association of Switzerland to Horizon Europe continues, the Swiss government has announced a series of transitional measures to fund researchers in European calls for proposals currently not accessible for Swiss participants. Whilst rapid association to Horizon Europe remains the Swiss Federal Council’s goal, it has decided on further measures to diversify and strengthen the international orientation of Swiss research and innovation in its areas of excellence.
Several articles have been published on the topic, see:
- ScienceIBusiness: Swiss on the hunt for new research partners outside the EU as Horizon Europe exclusion continues
- Le Temps (in French): Horizon Europe (recherche) : Suisse et Royaume-Uni s’installent dans l’alternatif durable
- NZZ am Sonntag (in German): Run auf Schweizer Forschungsgelder
Information about transitional measures for Swiss participants and partners from European and associated countries to Horizon Europe can be found on the website of State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI): Swiss Transitional Measures for Horizon Europe – Direct Funding
