Last week the UK agreed a deal to associate to Horizon Europe, the EU's key funding programme for research and innovation. From 7 September 2023, UK researchers can bid into Horizon, certain that all successful UK applicants will be covered through the UK’s association (or through the guarantee) for the remainder of the programme. All calls in Work Programme 2024 will be covered by association and the UK guarantee scheme will be extended to cover all calls under Work Programme 2023.
