Researchers brace for tense weeks ahead as Europe turns up the heat on research-programme negotiations.
But the two sides have yet to ratify the final agreement because of a row over a customs border between Great Britain and the island of Ireland. As a result, the UK government has deployed its safety-net funding guarantee to underwrite successful bids by UK scientists for Horizon Europe funding in the programme’s early stages.
The eleventh-hour trade deal struck between Britain and the EU in January 2021 paved the way for Britain to ‘associate’ with Horizon Europe as a non-member state. It came as a huge relief to scientists, who finally had clarity that they would, in principle, be able to apply for funding from the bloc’s multibillion pot for research and development.
Britain's participation in joint science initiatives such as Earth-observation programme Copernicus are tied to whether it associates with Horizon Europe.Without an association deal, scientists based in the United Kingdom will be locked out of Horizon Europe. Historically, UK scientists have had huge success securing funding from the European Commission, consistently ranking among the top beneficiaries.
