Success and Impact Stories

Success Stories are a great motivator to support your planning and activities in the field of European research and innovation.

Our Success Stories give you an insight into the extensive, active, effective and strong participation of Switzerland in the EU Framework Programme "Horizon Europe" (2020 - 2027), but also in the previous programme "Horizon 2020" (2013 - 2020).

We look at the impact and challenges of participating in a EU Framework Programme project. How did this European funding support the career of a researcher or innovator and what was the role of Euresearch in the whole application process?

Take a look and contact us if you have any questions.
