Canada Joins Horizon Europe in Landmark Research Partnership

In November 2023, Canada officially joined Horizon Europe, the EU’s €95 billion research program, becoming one of the first non-European countries to associate, alongside New Zealand and South Korea.

The agreement, signed by EU research commissioner Iliana Ivanova and Canada’s science minister François-Philippe Champagne, allows Canadian researchers to collaborate seamlessly with European partners under Pillar II, focusing on industrial, social, and environmental challenges.

This marks a new chapter in Canada-EU research cooperation, streamlining funding access and strengthening geopolitical alliances aimed at addressing global challenges through collaborative innovation.
