What is Horizon Europe?
Reports suggest Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to announce that the UK will rejoin the European Union (EU)s 85 billion Horizon science research programme.
The scheme is a collaboration involving Europes leading research institutes and technology companies.
It would allow UK-based researchers and innovators to apply to most Horizon Europe funding opportunities on the same terms as EU-based applicants.
The programme was initially launched in 2021 with a budget of 95.5 billion euro (81.8 billion), with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) issuing more than 2,000 grants worth more than 1 billion by April 2023.
