Science: Research

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she has had recent discussions with counterparts in the European Union about UK participation in framework programme 10.

Answer

Once the bespoke deal for the UK’s association to Horizon Europe is adopted, the UK will be able to join the governance of EU programmes. This ensures that the UK can shape collaboration taking place under Horizon Europe going forward including discussions on the priorities of Framework Programme 10.

This agreement secures UK association to Horizon Europe and Copernicus through to 2027 when these programmes finish. This gives UK researchers and businesses certainty over the access of this programme through to its conclusion in 2027 and for the remainder for 2023 where bids will continue to be assessed under transitional measures.
