Only those with association agreements are treated like EU countries for funding and consortium rules. Other non-EU countries can join, but with funding and participation restrictions.

/ collaboration
Associated regional entities can bid for Horizon Europe funding, lead projects, and collaborate with European partners. Sometimes this is specific to one pillar of Horizon Europe.
Equal Participation Rights
Entities from Associated Countries participate on equal terms with EU Member States. They can join and lead collaborative projects and count toward the minimum consortium requirements.

Influence on Programme Development
Associated Countries have the opportunity to help shape the strategic direction, objectives, and priorities of Horizon Europe, particularly through input to work programmes and partnership governance.
Broader Collaboration and Networking
Association allows access to a wide European network, enhances collaboration with leading research institutions, and fosters international knowledge exchange.
Leadership Opportunities
Institutions from Associated Countries can coordinate and lead consortia, not just participate as secondary partners, giving them greater scientific and organizational influence in projects.
