On 15 March the UK government has announced an extension to the support provided to Horizon Europe applicants launched in November 2021. This ensures that eligible successful UK applicants for grant awards will continue to be guaranteed funding.
The guarantee will now be in place for awards expected to be signed by the end of December 2022, while efforts continue to associate to Horizon Europe, as both the UK and the EU agreed under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) last year. The UK is ready to formalise our association to Horizon Europe at the earliest opportunity, but the EU’s continued delays have led to uncertainty for researchers, businesses and innovators based in the UK and their consortia partners across Europe.
The funding will continue to be delivered through UK Research and Innovation, and details regarding the scope and terms of the extension to the guarantee is available on their website: Horizon Europe: help for UK applicants – UKRI.
