The ’Horizon Europe guarantee’ scheme provides funding to researchers and innovators unable to receive their Horizon Europe funding while the UK is in the process of associating to the programme.

The guarantee is a short-term measure intended to address the delays in the formalisation of the UK’s association to Horizon Europe.

This guarantee covers the costs of EIT-eligible activities delivered by UK participants of the KICs in 2021, 2022, and 2023 that would otherwise have been covered by grant funding awarded by EIT.

This funding route is for EIT-eligible activities carried out by UK partners involved in EIT-KIC activities where relevant costs will be incurred in calendar year 2023.

  • You will be eligible to register with UKRI for the Horizon Europe guarantee through this route if you:

    • are a UK-based organisation which will carry out an EIT-KIC approved project
    • will incur relevant costs during the 2023 calendar year.
  • This competition will cover the costs of EIT-eligible activities delivered by UK participants of the KICs that would otherwise have been covered by grant funding awarded by EIT.

    This will apply for EIT-eligible activities where relevant costs will be incurred in calendar year 2023.

    Note that costs for subsequent calendar years are outside the scope of the guarantee.

  • If you need support with the application process, email us at theguarantee@iuk.ukri.org or call 0300 321 4357. Our phone lines are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
