Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she plans to extend the Horizon Europe guarantee beyond the end of June 2023.

On the 8 June 2023, the Government announced an extension to the Horizon Europe Guarantee, it will cover all Horizon Europe grant calls that close on or before 30 September 2023.
