In September, the Swiss Parliament approved the overall negotiating mandate and credit for an association of Switzerland to Horizon 2020 and Erasmus+.

This decision paves the way to an uninterrupted participation of Switzerland to the EU research and innovation programmes as well as EU education, training, youth and sport programme for the years 2014-2020. Moreover, the adhesion to the EC's MEDIA programme shall allow for funding of European training and networking opportunities for the Swiss film industry.
