This is the latest in a long-running series of joint webinars on UK participation in Horizon Europe organised jointly by Universites UK International, the UK Science and Innovation Network and the UK Research Office in Brussels.
On Tuesday 13 December 2022, Science and Technology Minister George Freeman announced phase one of a new global research fund, International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), at an event in Tokyo, Japan. This initial phase of the fund will be opened with £119m worth of funding to allow UK scientists and innovators to collaborate with peers around the world on some of the most pressing issues facing our planet.
Jamie Arrowsmith, Director, Universities UK International, said:
Researchers from universities across the UK have been awarded grants to undertake a range of mobility projects focussed on innovation and entrepreneurial skills development with partners in Israel as part of a new scheme launched last year by UUKi.
Following the publication of the Pioneer prospectus, Professor Paul Boyle, chair of the Universities UK Research & Innovation Policy Network and Vice-Chancellor at the University of Swansea said:
The UK and EU have announced that a deal has been reached for the UK to become an Associated Country in the Horizon Europe and Copernicus programmes. At this webinar, UK Government and UK Research and Innovation officials will provide an update on this announcement and will answer questions from attendees.
