SERI describes this as Swiss participation in the Digital Europe Programme under the Horizon package 2021-2027, with project funding from the European Commission and possible national co-funding from SERI. The source states that EC core funding generally covers 50 percent of a DEP project budget and that SERI may provide national co-funding of up to 50 percent of the 2025-2027 work programme, but it does not publish a per-applicant award cap or a Swiss co-funding pool.

Eligible Swiss applicants are described as Swiss organisations applying to 2025-2027 calls in Specific Objectives 1, 2, 4, and 5, provided they meet the work-programme conditions. The accessible areas include high performance computing, artificial intelligence, advanced digital skills, and deployment or use of digital technologies. The cited page excludes SO3 cybersecurity and SO6 semiconductors for Swiss applicants.

Applicants apply through the European Commission call process and may also submit a co-funding application to SERI where the listed call is eligible. The source gives a 2025-2027 call window but no single deadline, review timeline, scoring rubric, or award-size table. Teams should treat the EC work programme and the individual call text as controlling for exact deadlines and deliverables.

Digital Europe Programme calls in high performance computing, artificial intelligence, advanced digital skills, and deployment of digital technologies; Swiss access excludes SO3 cybersecurity and SO6 semiconductors under the cited SERI page.
