Meeting of the Swiss-EU Joint Committee for Research and Innovation

- EN - DE- FR
The 25th meeting of the Joint Committee for Research and Innovation between Switzerland and the European Union (EU) / Euratom took place on 27 October. Discussions focused on implementation of the existing agreement between Switzerland and the EU on Horizon 2020, the Euratom programme and the international fusion reactor ITER. This year's meeting was held via video conference because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Swiss delegation explained that Switzerland's quantitative participation in the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) has steadily increased since Switzerland became fully associated to the programme at the beginning of 2017. However, participation is still lower than in the previous generation (7th Framework Programme, 2007-2013). This is because Switzerland only enjoyed partial association to Horizon 2020 between 2014 and 2016. Nonetheless, Switzerland is still the most active non-EU member state in terms of the number of project participations and coordinations.
