UK-based scientists can participate in programmes financed under pillar 1 of Horizon Europe, including European Research Council grants. Applications can begin immediately for all calls that relate to the 2024 work programme.
Horizon Europe’s pillar 2 will also be open to UK institutions, although the country could be locked out of specific projects involving sensitive technologies, such as quantum or space. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
As was long known, in pillar 3, the UK will not participate specifically in the EIC Fund, a part of the EIC Accelerator scheme that invests in applicants through equity finance.
Outside Horizon Europe, the UK has decided not to rejoin the Erasmus+ student exchange programme after creating its own domestic version, the Turing Scheme.
