As a non-EU country, Switzerland has to negotiate the association to Horizon Europe. Currently, Switzerland has the status of a third country. For collaborative research projects (RIAs and IAs) open to third country participation, Swiss entities can participate as associated partners from a third country. If these are successfully evaluated, the participant from Switzerland will receive funding from the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.
