U15 Canada and the German U15 have issued a joint statement at the 2026 Falling Walls Science Summit, calling for deeper Canadian participation in European research programs, including the successor to Horizon Europe.

University presidents on both sides welcomed the recent commitment to launch negotiations on Canada’s participation in the next EU research program. This is a vital opportunity to strengthen scientific ties with trusted partners.

Stronger collaboration will support the exchange of knowledge and advanced technologies, helping Canadians and Europeans tackle shared challenges, seize new opportunities and advance our collective economic security.

U15 Canada was pleased to meet with the TU9 Alliance on the sidelines of the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin.

U15 Executive Heads and TU9 Presidents exchanged perspectives on opportunities to build on existing research ties and deepen Canada-German research collaboration, including through Horizon Europe.

At a time of geopolitical uncertainty, this productive discussion between Canada’s leading research universities and Germany’s leading technical universities reinforced the importance of trusted international partnerships in addressing our shared challenges.

U15 Canada est fier de se joindre à la délégation canadienne au Sommet scientifique Falling Walls 2026 à Berlin.

Le Canada est le pays partenaire cette année, ce qui souligne le rôle de la diplomatie scientifique alors que le pays cherche à diversifier ses relations économiques et scientifiques avec des partenaires de confiance.

Les grandes universités de recherche intensifient leurs efforts pour approfondir les liens de recherche existants avec leurs homologues allemands. Ensemble, nos chercheurs font progresser les connaissances et s’attaquent à certains des grands défis de notre époque.
