- The government says a bespoke agreement will again let UK researchers apply for grants and join Horizon projects.
- The agreement also covers the EU’s Copernicus space programme; the UK will not participate in the Euratom nuclear scheme.
- From 1 January 2024, Britain will pay around £2.2 billion annually for both programmes, without paying for two absent years.
- Scientists welcomed the announced return, while many critics accused the government and MPs of gaslighting the public.
No, blossom, we’re rejoining not joining #Horizon, and on far worse terms and far less influence than previously we had. Why the gaslighting?— Bob Cywinski, professor emeritus at the University of Huddersfield, in response to the Horizon deal announcement
