The EU is still in the process of formalising the UK’s association to the Horizon Europe funding programme. UK Research and Innovation is playing a key role in tackling the impacts of this delay.
Our funding supports people and projects who have been successful in applying to Horizon Europe but been unable to receive grants from the EU. It also enables universities and research organisations to tackle challenges created by the uncertainty, such as talent retention and recruitment issues.
During the delay, UK businesses and researchers can apply as an associated country and request funding from the EU. We provide a range of advice and guidance to help them meet partners, form consortia and navigate the application process.
Meanwhile we are working hard in collaboration with the UK government to prepare alternatives to Horizon Europe in case they are needed.
