The European Commission is pleased to announce that, as of 12 February 2026, the agreement associating Egypt to Horizon Europe has entered into force.

With this agreement, Egypt has become an associated country to Horizon Europe, including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). Organisations based in Egypt are now eligible to apply to all MSCA 2026 calls for proposals, as well as all future calls under Horizon Europe 2021–2027. This includes all funding schemes under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

Researchers from Egypt will continue to be able to participate in the programme, which remains open to top researchers from all over the world.

The European Commission has published an article on the MSCA website and invites stakeholders to share this news across their networks and social media channels.
