Horizon Europe is the EU’s funding programme for research and innovation, with a proposed budget of €100billion available from 2021 to 2027. UK businesses can continue to participate in, bid for and lead projects in Horizon 2020, as if the UK remained a member state, even though the UK has now left the EU.
The UK government is encouraging UK organisations to continue to bid into calls for new Horizon 2020 grant funding for the lifetime of the Horizon 2020 programme and, if successful, funding will be provided by the Commission.
