On January 1, 2004, Switzerland became an Associated Country in the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). This country had already the same statute under the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5).
From the above-mentioned date, Swiss researchers are thus considered as European researchers, and will consequently have the same rights and obligations.
For further information about the agreements concluded by Switzerland and European Community in the frame of FP5 and FP6, please see the link below.
