Today's joint statement by the UK Government and European Commission confirming the 'political agreement' reached on UK association to Horizon Europe has been enthusiastically welcomed by many voices from across the higher education and research sector.

The statement includes confirmation that:

"UK researchers will be able to fully participate in the Horizon Europe programme on the same terms as researchers from other associated countries, including leading consortia, from the 2024 Work Programmes and onwards – including any 2024 calls opening this year. For calls from the 2023 Work Programmes, the European Commission will continue to administer transitional arrangements and the UK will continue to provide funding under the UK Guarantee. UK and EU scientists and researchers can have confidence in continuing long-term partnerships with their counterparts".

Further details may emerge after the association agreement is formally adopted and published. The Horizon Europe programme runs until 2027.
