Swiss participation in Horizon Europe and the EIC Accelerator 2025
Switzerland and the EU are in the middle of negotiations on Switzerland's association to EU programmes for research and innovation. Switzerland aims for a rapid and full activation of the transitional arrangement 2025.
This would give researchers and innovators in Switzerland the same access to the 2025 calls for proposals as associated countries (with the exception of calls in areas considered strategic by the EU such as quantum, space and high-performance computing).

The submission of a short proposal (step 1) to the EIC Accelerator is possible without a transitional arrangement 2025.
This means that Swiss stakeholders can submit these applications. The activation of the transitional arrangement should allow the submission of the full proposal in step 2 with a cut-off date of 12 March 2025. 

Further information can be found in the Q&A on the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) website. SERI will provide further information as soon as there is any news regarding access to these calls for proposals.

Euresearch is organising an online EIC Accelerator Q&A session on 7 November 2024. If you are considering applying for the upcoming EIC Accelerator cut-off of 12 March 2025, send us your questions in advance to .
