Australian Industry Minister Tim Ayres signed the country’s Horizon Europe association agreement in Brussels on 12 November, Politico said. Horizon Europe is a European Union scientific research program.
Researchers from non-EU countries that are not associated with the program can already take part in Horizon Europe projects, but they do not always receive funding. Association generally gives research and innovation organizations in non-EU countries, as far as possible, the same rights and obligations as those in EU member states.
The signing does not establish when the agreement will take effect, which Australian applicants or funding calls it will cover, or what Australia will contribute.
