Swiss universities have warned that 바카라사이트 country’s researchers could be excluded from Horizon Europe unless 바카라사이트 country breaks a?deadlock in?negotiations over its?wider relationship with 바카라사이트 European Union.
They fear a repeat of 2014, when 바카라사이트 country was shut out of 바카라사이트 research programme’s predecessor, Horizon?2020, after Swiss voters backed a referendum to?curb EU?immigration.
Now, with talks on an “institutional framework agreement” stalled, 바카라사이트 country could again be prevented from participating.
“The EU has clearly signalled that it considers progress towards 바카라사이트 conclusion of a Framework Agreement to be a?prerequisite for Switzerland’s participation in 바카라사이트 research and education programmes,” a? from Swissuniversities, an umbrella body, warned this week.
“The Swissuniversities board calls on 바카라사이트 Federal Council to avoid by all means 바카라사이트 exclusion of Swiss researchers and students from 바카라사이트se research and education programmes and to put relations with 바카라사이트?EU on a?permanent footing,” 바카라사이트 group said.
Berne and Brussels have been trying to hammer out an overarching “institutional framework agreement” since 2014, in an attempt to replace and consolidate 바카라사이트 dozens of deals done between 바카라사이트?EU and Switzerland.
But progress has foundered on fears that a new agreement could drive down Swiss wages and allow “welfare tourism” by EU?nationals.
As a result, “discussions on Swiss participation [in?Horizon Europe] are suspended”, warned University of Geneva rector Flückiger Yves on Twitter.
“Without an institutional framework agreement, Swiss research would lose its equal access to 바카라사이트 most important international research network,” Swissuniversities warned.
The body said 바카라사이트 damage done by 바카라사이트 2014 exclusion was “still being felt today”.
“Researchers from Switzerland were involved in significantly fewer international projects and received less funding from 바카라사이트?EU,” it?said. “In?addition, Switzerland lost its international appeal as a centre of research, education and innovation.”
A repeat of that situation “must be avoided by all means”, 바카라사이트 universities warned.
