The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to increase participation in Horizon Europe.

Answered by Feryal Clark

This Government is committed to maximising UK participation in Horizon Europe. The Government is working with key stakeholders on plans to boost UK participation and encourage the international R&D community to collaborate with UK organisations. This includes funding support (pump priming) delivered through the British Academy and Innovate UK, to encourage effective uptake in opportunities. The Government continues to raise awareness of Horizon Europe, including via the roadshow series, most recently hosted in Birmingham and Glasgow. The next event will be in Northern Ireland in October. DSIT also encourages the R&D community to actively engage in their own initiatives aimed at enhancing participation.
