Find out more about participating in Horizon Europe and the UK Government's previous Horizon Europe Guarantee.

Overview

果冻影院 researchers now have full听access to the world鈥檚 largest research collaboration programme, Horizon Europe, following the UK's official re-entry on 1听January 2024. Principal Investigators should continue to听apply听to take part in projects under the Horizon programme, with the certainty听that the UK will be participating as a fully associated member for the remaining life of the programme to 2027. All awarded Horizon Europe projects will be funded for their full duration, even if this extends beyond 2027.

This means that 果冻影院 researchers can fully participate in the Horizon Europe programme on the same terms as researchers from other associated countries, including leading consortia, for calls in the 2024 Work Programmes and onwards. For projects awarded under听the听2023 Work Programmes and earlier, the European Commission will continue to administer transitional arrangements and the UK will continue to provide funding under the Horizon Europe听Guarantee scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions听

How does the deal on the UK's association to Horizon Europe听impact听proposals currently in development and successful applications?

Following the announced deal between the European Commission and the UK on the UK's association to Horizon Europe:

• 果冻影院 researchers should听continue to apply to all Horizon Europe calls, as full beneficiaries听with a complete request for EU funding, i.e.听applying as听a fully-fledged project partner
• Successful awards under calls in 2024听(and later) Work Programmes will be funded from the Horizon Europe budget under the terms of the UK's association to the programme. 果冻影院 will receive European Union (EU)听funding as would any partner established in an EU Member State
• Successful awards under previous years' work programmes will have had their Horizon Europe awards registered for funding听via the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)听underwrite听with the support of the ERIO team. The UKRI funding amount will match that requested in the Horizon Europe proposal.

I am a 果冻影院 academic can I apply for Horizon Europe funding, and can I coordinate a collaborative project?

We encourage听果冻影院 researchers to apply to听all Horizon Europe听calls of interest. UK organisations have the right听to participate in proposals targeting all Horizon Europe calls.听Any limited听exceptions, such as those related to sensitive EU matters, will be clearly indicated.

Funding awarded under calls in 2023 (and earlier) Work Programmes remains secure under the terms of the . The UK Government has stressed that UK researchers should continue to apply for funding as normal for any remaining such calls.

Funding awarded under calls in听2024听(and later) Work Programmes will be funded from the Horizon Europe budget under the terms of the UK's association to the programme. 果冻影院 will receive EU funding as would any partner in an EU Member State.

Regarding听coordinating听collaborative project proposals, 果冻影院 researchers wishing to lead on such听projects are encouraged to do so and should听contact ERIO's European Project Management team for advice at the听earliest feasible听stage.

Should 果冻影院 be included in a collaborative proposal as a 'Beneficiary'听or an 'Associated Partner'?

When participating in听proposals targeting Horizon Europe collaborative funding, 果冻影院 should听always be included as a 鈥淏eneficiary鈥� requesting full EU funding budget at the time of proposal submission to the European Commission. 果冻影院 will then remain as full "Beneficiary" and be funded as normal by the EU, the same as would a participant from an EU Member State.

In collaborative proposals, does the UK count towards the minimum eligibility criteria of having three Beneficiaries from three Member States/Associated Countries?

Yes, unless there听are bespoke criteria to the contrary, which will be clearly set out in the call.

I have a Horizon 2020 funded grant; will my funding continue to come from the EU鈥檚 Horizon 2020 programme?听

Yes, UK participants in Horizon 2020 will continue to receive EU grant funding for the lifetime of individual Horizon 2020 projects. 果冻影院 colleagues can therefore continue to participate in and lead their Horizon 2020 projects.

What will replace Horizon Europe funding should the UK not associate?

The UK's association is effective as of 1st of January 2024, and so the need for a replacement programme has been obviated.

Did the support package announced by the UK Government in November 2022 mean less money for the Horizon Europe guarantee?

No. This funding was in addition to and complemented听the UK Government鈥檚 Horizon Europe guarantee. While the Horizon Europe guarantee provided听funding for successful UK Horizon Europe applicants, the 拢484 million announced in November 2022 provided additional support for the UK R&D sector while association was being negotiated.

What support is available for researchers at 果冻影院?

The European Research and Innovation Office team provides dedicated support for 果冻影院 researchers.

We encourage all recent Horizon Europe grantees, as well as those with in-flight applications, and planned applications, to continue liaising with their assigned member of the European Research and Innovation Office team to discuss the administration of their grants, and support in the application process.听

If you have not already been in touch with the European Research and Innovation team and are a Horizon Europe grantee, applicant or planned applicant, please email听Kimberly Cornfield (k.cornfield@ucl.ac.uk), Assistant Director (Project Development and Management) and Head of European Research and Innovation.
