Dismay over Canada and New Zealand’s Horizon Europe plans

Research community calls for involvement in EU research and innovation programme beyond its second pillar

Association to the programme offers non-EU countries access on terms similar to those of countries in the bloc, in exchange for financial contributions.

These are focused on excellent science, collaboration on global challenges and innovation.
