WP Thompson welcomes the long-overdue announcement that the UK will be joining Horizon Europe – the EU’s key transnational funding programme for research and innovation.
The UK’s membership of Horizon Europe should facilitate pan-European collaborations, including academic-industrial lead consortia, and strengthen research and innovation, fostering a healthy environment for knowledge transfer and new technologies.
The UK can expect to see an uplift in the award of grants to its science programmes, and UK scientists will now be able to obtain grants from the European Research Council.
We look forward to witnessing the benefits and technologies that will be borne out of this project in the years to come.
