Food: Research
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the domestic opportunities through Horizon Europe for research into food biosecurity.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The UK’s association to Horizon Europe means that UK researchers and businesses can participate in the world’s largest programme of research cooperation, worth £80bn+, alongside their EU colleagues and those from other Associated Countries. UK researchers are fully eligible, and DSIT encourages them to apply for funding calls in Horizon Europe’s ‘Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment’ cluster.
Making Horizon Europe association a success is the Government’s priority, and that is why DSIT is engaging with key stakeholders to boost UK participation and remove barriers to international R&D collaborations.
