PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Horizon Europe (7 February 2024)

The Government is committed to restoring the UK’s position in Horizon Europe by ensuring that businesses and researchers feel supported to re-engage with Horizon Europe and lead consortia. My Department is promoting the opportunities, including working closely with the EU to boost participation through joint UK/EU engagement campaigns. In January, Government launched a large-scale marketing campaign to encourage UK researchers and businesses to bid for Horizon funding. My Department is delivering a Horizon Europe Roadshow around the country to drive network-building and information-sharing and is making concrete support available through a ‘pump priming’ grant scheme delivered by the British Academy.
