Horizon Europe is the EU's framework program for promoting research and innovation and the successor to the Horizon 2020 program. It commits its researchers to ensure open access to their publications.
Switzerland currently has the status of a non-associated third country with regard to "Horizon Europe". Researchers at Swiss institutions can participate in most collaborative projects, but not in individual projects. The federal government is aiming for full association and on its behalf the SNSF is continuously working out transitional solutions.

Current information from the federal government on the Horizon programs
The OpenAIRE research information platform is the most important European e-infrastructure for Open Science. It supports the EU's Horizon programmes with the aim of collecting all research results from EU-funded research and making them more reusable by implementing the FAIR principles.
The UZH repository ZORA is a certified source database for the platform and thus actively supports the linking of project information, publications and research data. In addition, the University Library of Zurich participates in the working groups of the OpenAIRE association together with more than 50 partners throughout Europe.
Switzerland is collaborating with other European countries in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). EOSC is a pan-European association that aims to connect Open Science stakeholders (organizations, infrastructures, etc.) and the Open Science community in Europe, to ensure the alignment of European Union research policy and priorities with activities coordinated by EOSC, and to enable seamless access to data through interoperable services and federated infrastructures that address the entire research data life cycle across borders and scientific disciplines.
The governance of EOSC is still under construction and the role of Switzerland in this endeavour under discussion.
