Horizon Europe, the European Union’s premier research and innovation programme, aims to drive scientific excellence, address pressing global challenges, and strengthen industrial competitiveness.
With a staggering budget of €95.5 billion, it builds on the legacy of Horizon 2020 while expanding collaboration opportunities across borders. A common misconception is that only EU countries benefit from Horizon Europe funding. In reality, most countries around the globe are eligible in one form or another.
This guide explains:
1. which countries qualify for funding
2. how eligibility is structured, and
3. what this means for international research collaboration in 2025.

Understanding Horizon Europe Funding
Horizon Europe is structured into three core pillars:
- Excellent Science – Supporting frontier research through the European Research Council (ERC) and fellowships under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
- Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (Pillar II) – Promoting joint action on climate, health, digital transformation, and more.
- Innovative Europe – Enhancing Europe’s capacity for market-creating innovation, particularly through the European Innovation Council (EIC).
These pillars reflect the EU’s commitment to maintaining leadership in science and innovation, while facilitating collaboration with countries worldwide.
Horizon Europe Eligible Countries: EU and Associated States
What Are Associated Countries?
Associated countries are non-EU nations that have formal agreements with the EU, allowing their entities to participate in Horizon Europe under similar conditions as EU Member States. These countries contribute to the program financially and in return, their researchers and organisations can apply for and receive funding.
List of Associated Countries (2025)
As of 2025, 23 countries have association agreements with Horizon Europe. These include both European and non-European states:
European Continent:
- Albania
- Armenia
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Faroe Islands
- Georgia
- Iceland
- Kosovo
- Moldova
- Montenegro
- North Macedonia
- Norway
- Serbia
- Türkiye
- Ukraine
- United Kingdom* (with EIC fund restrictions)
- Switzerland** (selective calls from 2024 and full from 2025)
Non-European Continent:
- Israel
- Tunisia
- New Zealand (Pillar II: ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness’ only)
- Morocco (full programme)
- Republic of Korea (Pillar II: ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness’, included for the institutionalized European partnerships, for award procedures implementing Union budget, from 2025)
- Canada *** (Pillar II: ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness’ association announced 2023)
* UK participation excludes EIC equity fund
** Switzerland’s eligibility evolves with specific program phases
*** Canada is joining the growing group of non-EU countries associated with Horizon Europe to work jointly on large-scale projects tackling global challenges. Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, and Francois-Philippe Champagne, Canadian Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, are signing the agreement that gives Canadian researchers and organisations the opportunity to participate in the program on equal terms with their EU counterparts. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the conclusion of negotiations for Canada’s association to Pillar II of Horizon Europe at the EU-Canada Summit on 24 November 2023. They welcomed the announcement through a joint statement. Canada is associated with Pillar II of Horizon Europe, which funds collaborative research projects across a wide range of domains. Canadian entities can now join and lead research consortia with some of the world’s best research organisations to tackle global challenges together. They will get the opportunity to be funded directly from the program, while Canada will contribute to its budget.
Eligibility for Low and Middle-Income Countries
Horizon Europe extends automatic funding eligibility to many countries classified as low or middle income by the World Bank. This includes much of Africa, parts of Asia, Latin America, and small island states.
Why Are These Countries Funded?
The EU aims to promote inclusivity in scientific development, bridge knowledge gaps, and strengthen partnerships in regions vulnerable to health crises, climate change, and economic instability.
Full List of Low and Middle-Income Countries Eligible for Funding
Horizon Europe recognizes over 100 countries classified as low or middle income by the World Bank. This includes:
A Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Azerbaijan,
B Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi,
C Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Colombia, Comoros, Congo (Democratic Republic), Congo (Republic), Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba,
D Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic,
E Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia,
F Fiji,
G Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana,
H Haiti, Honduras,
I Indonesia, Iran, Iraq,
J Jamaica, Jordan,
K Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Korea (DPRK), Kyrgyz Republic,
L Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya,
M Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Mauritius, Micronesia, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar,
N Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria,
P Pakistan, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
R Rwanda,

T Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu,
U Uganda, Uzbekistan,
V Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam,
Y Yemen,
Z Zambia, Zimbabwe.
These countries are automatically eligible under most Horizon Europe calls without requiring separate association agreements.
Conditional or Exceptional Funding Countries
Entities from countries not associated or classified as low/middle income may still receive Horizon Europe funding under exceptional conditions.
Criteria for Exceptional Eligibility
- Outstanding expertise
- Access to unique infrastructure
- Essential participation for project success
This pathway is typically used when expertise in specific research areas cannot be sourced from within the EU or associated countries.
National Funding Mechanisms
Countries like Australia, India, and Japan have created domestic schemes to support researchers joining Horizon Europe projects. These schemes often target select calls or research topics and require coordination with European consortia.
Eligible Participation by Horizon Europe Pillars
Not all pillars of Horizon Europe are equally open to non-EU participants.
Pillar I – Excellent Science
This is the most competitive and restricted pillar. While open to some global talent via ERC grants and Marie Curie fellowships, full access is usually reserved for EU and associated countries.
Pillar II – Global Challenges
This is the most inclusive pillar. Countries like Canada, New Zealand, and the Republic of Korea participate through associations targeting this pillar. It funds projects in health, climate, food, and energy.
Pillar III – Innovative Europe
Participation is more limited here. For example, the UK cannot access the EIC equity fund, although it is eligible for most other calls.
