We are moving forward with discussions on the UK’s involvement in Horizon Europe and hope these will be successful. That is our preference. We will continue to engage with representatives across the sector, including the life science research sector, as these discussions progress.

More generally, the Office for Life Sciences works to ensure that initiatives such as the Scale-up Visa, the Department for Business and Trade Global Talent Network, and Cabinet Office GREAT Campaign consider the needs of the Life Sciences sector and help bring in world-class overseas talent.
