NCCR MUST at Scientifica 2021Horizon 2020: Direct support for researchers
Bern, 25.06.2014 - Today the Federal Council approved interim measures in response to the unresolved situation regarding Switzerland’s association to Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The measures are designed to support researchers in Switzerland who are involved in projects and programmes financed under Horizon 2020 and who will no longer receive any funding from Brussels. The Federal Council’s stated aim remains for Switzerland to achieve full association to Horizon 2020 by the end of the year, if possible.
Researchers from Switzerland can currently take part in Horizon 2020, the European Union's EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, but they do not receive funding from the EU. In response to the result of the vote on mass immigration held on 9 February 2014, the European Commission suspended negotiations on Switzerland's association to the Horizon 2020 package and Switzerland now has the status of a third country. Due to the current uncertainty regarding Switzerland's status in Horizon 2020, numerous researchers from Switzerland are excluded from projects consortia. This means that researchers in Switzerland are not eligible to receive funding from other European programmes and initiatives which the European Commission co-finances via Horizon 2020. This affects the pan-European funding programme COST and a range of initiatives which under Articles 185 and 187 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) would be possible under the Framework Programme.
