“[the UK rejoining Horizon Europe programme is] fantastic news not just for the UK but for scientists across the EU and for all the people of Europe”. Sir Adrian Smith, president of the Royal Society

The EU and the UK Government have come to an agreement on the UK rejoining the Horizon Europe funding programme after a gap of one year or so, after they resolved the dispute over the Northern Ireland protocol. With a further five months wasted by the UK Government seeking a more favourable “underperformance clause”. Although this reopening will not impact our ERC Synergy OCEAN grant, which is already running and is partly funded by substitution funds from the UK Government, this is great news for science and research.

Just read in The Guardian that the UK Government or more exactly the PM hopeful Liz Truss  (since Boris Johnson has gone AWOL!) is starting a formal procedure against the EU for British scientists being excluded from Horizon Europe funding due to said Government renegading on its former signature of the Northern Ireland Protocol. (After the EU announced last June re-commencing its infringement proceedings against the UK.) Just stick to Science!

Dear President of the European Commission
