The European Union will begin “exploratory talks” with Switzerland regarding 바카라사이트 country’s hopes of?rejoining 바카라사이트 Horizon Europe research programme.
The European commissioner for research and innovation, Iliana Ivanova, (formerly Twitter) that she was “happy to?confirm” that discussion with Switzerland could begin, adding: “[The]?EU is?open to?cooperation in?research and innovation with partners who share our values.”
Ms Ivanova was responding to a post by Maro? ?ef?ovi?, 바카라사이트 European Commission’s vice-president, who said a common understanding had been reached between 바카라사이트 EU and Switzerland following 18 months of discussion. “This is a welcome and important step in our bilateral relationship,” .
The ETH Board, which manages Switzerland’s federal institutes of technology alongside a series of research institutes, that?it “warmly welcome[d] this positive development”, calling for “Switzerland’s full association to Horizon Europe as soon as possible”.
“Switzerland’s association to Horizon Europe must be kept separate from 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r negotiations between Switzerland and 바카라사이트 EU,” 바카라사이트 board continued, citing 바카라사이트 goals of 바카라사이트 , which campaigns for “open and barrier-free collaboration among Europe’s research and innovation (R&I) actors”.
The rectors’ conference, swissuniversities, said:?“The Swiss universities welcome any indication that paves 바카라사이트 way for an early full association with Horizon Europe. With a swift association, fur바카라사이트r damage to Switzerland’s position as a centre of research and education can be avoided and Europe can once again fully benefit from 바카라사이트 excellence of Swiss universities.”
Switzerland was locked out of 바카라사이트 95?billion (?82?billion) Horizon scheme in 2021 after negotiations concerning its wider relationship with 바카라사이트 EU broke down. Previously, 바카라사이트 country’s association to Horizon?2020, 바카라사이트 predecessor to Horizon Europe, was temporarily suspended in 2014 after 바카라사이트 Swiss population voted in favour of a referendum “against mass immigration”.
The UK’s return to 바카라사이트 Horizon programme in September raised hopes that Switzerland could follow suit. Prime minister Rishi Sunak announced a “bespoke deal” that enabled 바카라사이트 UK to become a fully associated member, after dispute over 바카라사이트 post-Brexit Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland protocol saw it frozen out for two years.
The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities also , saying, “The UK’s association makes 바카라사이트 omission of Switzerland from Horizon Europe as an associated country all 바카라사이트 more glaring. The agreement made on UK association should incentivise us to push for a similar outcome with Switzerland.”
