News archive - Kosovo* first to complete Horizon Europe association talks

Kosovo has completed talks with the European Commission on Horizon Europe association, becoming the first third-country to complete negotiations dedicated to participation in the EU research programme.

Horizon Europe association will give the Balkan country equal footing with EU member states when participating in the research programme. But it will take until around November for the two sides to complete the necessary paperwork before the deal can be ratified.

The negotiations with seventeen other EU neighbours in the East and South that were associated to Horizon Europe’s predecessor, Horizon 2020, are also expected to finish in the coming weeks.
