Widening participation aims at connecting research and innovation in Widening countries to a broader European network of excellence, with the goal of strengthening the Widening countries and allowing the EU as a whole to advance. Researchers in Switzerland can participate as so-called "advanced" partners, but the project must be coordinated by the Widening partner.
Strengthening the EU research areas facilitates the implementation of concrete measures to strengthen the ERA: free circulation of highly skilled workforces, rapid and efficient sharing of research output, attractive careers, gender equality, and general research output as understood and trusted by informed scientists.
Switzerland is an Associated Country to Horizon Europe and Swiss entities may participate as beneficiaries and coordinators. More information on the Euresearch webpage.
