On 8 June 2023 the UK government has announced an additional extension to the support provided to Horizon Europe applicants. The scheme was launched in November 2021 and has already been extended on 15 March 2022 and 1st September 2022 . 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 30 September 2023.
Since it was introduced the scheme supported over 2,000 grant offers worth £1.05 billion to the end of April 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.
