Briefing – The benefits of associating to EU research and innovation programmes
08 July 2024
EU R&I programmes bring huge advantages for the UK, boosting jobs and opportunity across the country, building UK research capacity and capabilities and keeping us at the forefront of key technological advances such as AI.
UK association to Horizon Europe is helping rebuild links between UK and EU researchers, innovators and universities. Now the UK is associated to Horizon Europe, the shared task for universities, business and the government is to realise the full benefits. Russell Group universities are investing to drive participation rates – raising awareness of Horizon opportunities with their academics, delivering targeted programmes to upskill potential applicants, helping applicants find partners to collaborate with and offering advice.
An early declaration of intent to associate to Framework Programme 10 (FP10 – the successor programme to Horizon Europe), will help secure and enhance relationships with EU partners. This collaboration will be critical to addressing the biggest challenges facing us, such as transitioning to a low-carbon future, tackling inequality and improving health outcomes. Committing to association now would also boost efforts to increase participation: partners in other countries will be more willing to build long-term collaborations within Horizon if future UK-EU ties in R&I are stable and predictable.
