The initial goal of 5000 signatures has already been achieved.
Thanks again for the immense support!
Based on this success, it seems not too bold to raise the bar to 10000 signatures.

The current developments in the Swiss/EU negotiations on HORIZON 2020
(see: europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-14-32_en.htm?locale=en)
show that the petition is very timely and most important to give the scientists, which are the ones most affected by any decisions on the association of Switzerland to HORIZON 2020, a voice.

Please continue to advertise for the petition and forward it to any interested scientists or non-scientists in Switzerland and the EU.
