Asked by: Ben Bradshaw (Labour - Exeter)
Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
What recent progress she has made on securing the UK's association to Horizon Europe.
Answered by Chloe Smith
We are moving forward with discussions on the UK’s association to Horizon Europe. We hope negotiations will be successful, and that is our preference.
But the terms must work for UK researchers, businesses and taxpayers and reflect the lasting impact of two years of EU delays to the UK’s association.
If we are unable to associate, we will implement our bold, ambitious alternative to Horizon Europe, Pioneer.
