As part of the European Union – Canada summit last June 14th a joint statement has been issued in order to further reinforce international collaboration between the EU and Canada. Various topics have been addressed but one of them is cooperation on research and innovation between Canadian and European institutions.

We will continue to enhance bilateral cooperation under Horizon Europe, including through launching exploratory discussions towards a possible association of Canada to the Programme, as well as under Copernicus and relevant Canadian programs (…). Such cooperation is vital to securing the long-term growth of our economies and the well-being of our peoples. We look forward to seizing further opportunities to foster cross-border knowledge exchange, build strategic business partnerships, and develop jointly the industries that we need for a sustainable and inclusive future.

Great news for our IDIH project as Canada is part of our strategic partners!
