From an information point of view, we know the ambitions of this program, the countries in it and the featured projects. But how would this program affect the countries which are not involved?

I completely agree with G. Reissig. Do Not waste your time on this. They know in advance who will get the money, and I think it is highly questionable whether this bureaucratic monster will survive next year. I hope it will NOT.
@Gunther, @Hans-Michael, I had a chance to face bureaucratic procedures through cross-border cooperation under EU! I do agree with Gunter facts!
Do you think that such point of view concerning program HORIZON2020 spread throughout Europe or is strictly related to the Germany?
@Sergiy, Horizon 2020 launched - first calls published with €15 billion over first two years! The new participant portal has been created, follow the link!
"For the first time", the Commission has indicated funding priorities over two years, providing researchers and businesses with more certainty than ever before on the direction of EU research policy. Most calls from the 2014 budget are already open for submissions as of yesterday, with more to follow over the course of the year. Calls in the 2014 budget alone are worth around €7.8 billion, with funding focused on the three key pillars of Horizon 2020:
Excellent Science: Around €3 billion, including €1.7 billion for grants from the European Research Councilfor top scientists and €800 million for Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowships for younger researchers (seeMEMO/13/1123).
Industrial Leadership: €1.8 billion to support Europe's industrial leadership in areas like ICT, nanotechnologies, advanced manufacturing, robotics, biotechnologies and space.
Societal challenges: €2.8 billion for innovative projects addressing Horizon 2020's seven societal challenges, broadly: health; agriculture, maritime and bioeconomy; energy; transport; climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; reflective societies; and security.

@Ljubomir, Thank you, I know this Portal from your last letter information in the middle of December. After that I was registered on this Portal and received expert id.
Dear colleagues,
I am not a representative of any German Research Organization. What I wrote is my private view. But, since I have been a Professor for twenty years, I can see trends.
I do understand the hopes of the non-EU countries to benefit. I watched this process when I was in Poland a few months before they joined the EU.
Maybe, you might gain some benefits at short-term prospective even it is very unlikely. But, please keep in mind that the current state of this organization is highly unstable, the democratic foundations are highly questionable and be sure that there are elections next year. This is going to be a disaster for the current policity, including research funding.
Take care and balance the benefits and the effort you have to take to get money against the restrictions that you will have if you will be part of this system.
This is not a specific German view. I was in contact with researchers from France, Italy, Portugal, Sweden etc.
I wish you good luck.
With best regards, Hans-Michael Hanisch
Reducing the scientific gap between member states is a sine qua non condition for the success of the European Research Area...
The European Union’s new research programme, Horizon Europe, will distribute €95.5 billion (US$113 billion) over 7 years. The basic-research arm of Horizon Europe, the European Research Council, launched its first calls for grant applications in February. In the coming weeks, the European Commission will announce detailed plans for the rest of the scheme, followed by additional funding calls...

Locked out of Horizon Europe, a nation famed for its stellar science is contemplating an uncertain future. Not the UK, but Switzerland, whose exclusion from the EU’s £70 billion research initiative has left politicians and scientists worried about the country’s ability to keep attracting the world’s best academic minds...
