PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
EU Framework Programme (22 July 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what his planned timetable is for commencing negotiations on the UK’s association to the EU’s Framework Programme 10.

Asked by:
Abtisam Mohamed (Labour)

Answer

The government’s primary focus is on continuing efforts, both domestically and in collaboration with the EU, to boost UK participation in Horizon Europe (FP9). That must be the immediate priority.

However, the government will of course closely observe the development of any future programmes with interest. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides a long-term basis for cooperation in areas of shared interest, such as science, research, and innovation.
