Early-career researchers in Switzerland will have limited access to the Erasmus Plus student-exchange programme and other European research funds for the next academic year. Switzerland lost its status as an Erasmus Plus programme country after it voted to impose quotas on immigrants from European Union (EU) countries that restrict the free movement of people from Croatia, the newest EU member. The change means that Swiss nationals who wish to study in the EU will no longer be eligible for Erasmus grants and that students from eligible countries will not be able to obtain an Erasmus grant to study in Switzerland. Erasmus funds around 7,000 exchanges a year between Switzerland and other countries.
