This statute will not allow registered USI students to
participate in the Erasmus scholarships granted by the EU. All Swiss universities and the Confederation are investigating solutions to compensate for the restrictions related to the third country status, and carry on mobility in the European Union for all students of Swiss universities. More information available on the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation web
site. For more information, please contact the International Relations and Study-abroad Service. | | SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: THE SITUATION AFTER 9 FEBRUARY VOTE | | Updates on the participation on Switzerland in Horizon 2020 The European Commission has announced that Switzerland will be handled as a third country in calls for project proposals for the year 2014.

The third party status will not however discriminate Switzerland during the evaluation of projects involving a Swiss partner.
