(llustration: Oculus Illustration) - No access to prestigious grants. Limited opportunities to have a say in European research policy. Less interest from partners and researchers. These are just some of the ways in which ETH Zurich and Switzerland as a whole are being affected by the country's exclusion from the Horizon Europe programme. When the Swiss Federal Council announced to the media on 26 May that it was pulling out of negotiations on a framework agreement with the European Union, Sofia Karakostas and Agatha Keller knew that the coming months would be very challenging indeed. The two women run EU GrantsAccess, a joint operation between ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich that provides advice on international funding issues. Karakostas and Keller help researchers obtain third-party funding from international sources.
