Government extends Horizon Europe financial safety net – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

On 1 September the UK government has announced an extension to the support provided to Horizon Europe applicants launched in November 2021 and already extended a first time on 15 March. This ensures that eligible successful UK applicants for grant awards will continue to be guaranteed funding to cover all Horizon Europe calls that close on or before 31 December 2022.

The guarantee will now be in place to cover all Horizon Europe calls that close on or before 31 December 2022, with the majority of grant signature dates expected before the end of August 2023. This extension will protect and support the UK sector during the ongoing delays while we continue to encourage the EU to formalise UK association, including through the recently launched consultation process.

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: Apply for Horizon Europe guarantee funding – UKRI.
