Framework Programme 9 - March 2018

23 March 2018

Russell Group universities are active participants in EU Framework Programmes and want to continue after the UK has left the EU. We especially value the opportunities to develop long-lasting relationships with fellow scientists and organisations across Europe through joint research projects, researcher mobility and networking platforms which bring significant added value to all involved. Indeed, international partnerships are crucial to the success of Europe’s universities and FP9 will provide huge value in supporting further collaboration across the EU and beyond. 

Building on the success of Horizon 2020, Framework Programme 9 can play a critical role in strengthening research and innovation cooperation to address key challenges affecting society, the environment and the economy.

We have outlined our priorities in the briefing paper below.
