Following the agreement in principle reached by the UK and EU regarding the Windsor Framework, representatives of the UK, Irish and wider European research, innovation and business communities have signed a joint statement urging rapid progress on UK association to EU programmes, including Horizon Europe, Copernicus and Euratom:
On April 12-13 the major convening associations of universities from Australia, UK, USA, New Zealand, Canada and Germany met in Washington DC to continue their discussions on ways in which the organisations can support safe and secure internationalisation.
As the major convening higher education associations in our respective countries, our organisations work together to support and promote international collaboration.
With this Joint Statement, we – the undersigned European university umbrella organisations – want to express our concerns on the lack of progress and clarity regarding the association of the United Kingdom and Switzerland to the Horizon Europe research framework programme. Two years have passed since the start of the programme without any progress and the delay is causing damage to existing research partnerships between EU, UK, and Swiss knowledge institutions
Our networks bring together staff from across the UK higher education sector with a shared interest in a specific world region or thematic area of university internationalisation.
Today’s (04 November 2021) Universities UK’s Transnational education conference saw the announcement of a new UK University Overseas Campuses Network, bringing together an initial membership of 17 UK universities with 27 campuses located in 17 countries across the world.
We create and share opportunities that support our members' international aims. Find research funding opportunities, study abroad programmes and partnership opportunities here.
