Horizon Europe: help for UK applicants


Why apply for Horizon Europe funding

Horizon Europe is an EU research and innovation programme. It has a budget of €95.5 billion and runs until 2027.

The UK agreed a deal to associate to Horizon Europe on 7 September 2023.

UK researchers can now apply for Horizon Europe funding, certain that all successful UK applicants will be covered through the UK’s association (or through the guarantee) for the remainder of the programme.

All funding opportunities in Work Programme 2024 will be covered by association, and the UK guarantee scheme will be extended to cover all opportunities under Work Programme 2023.
