        EU and Australia open exploratory talks on association to
        Horizon Europe

The European Commission and the Australian Government have launched 
non-binding exploratory discussions in view of Australia’s possible 
association to Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship research and innovation 
programme. These technical discussions will examine the details and 
principles of a possible association agreement and lay the foundations 
for potential negotiations.

Ekaterina *Zaharieva*, Commissioner for Startups, Research and 
Innovation, said:

/“Horizon Europe drives breakthroughs at a scale nobody can achieve 
alone. Association would enable Australia to take part directly in that 
effort and contribute its scientific excellence to global challenges."/
