<p>Following productive discussions with the EU, a clear vision for the UK’s future
relationship with the EU has been set out in the recent Political Declaration. This
included an agreement that both parties will establish general principles, terms and
conditions for the UK’s participation in future EU programmes in areas of shared interest,
including in areas such as science and innovation, culture and education. The next
generation of EU programmes are currently under negotiation in the EU. The Government
will decide whether to participate in specific programmes in light of these negotiations
and wider UK priorities.</p><p>Furthermore, under the terms of the proposed Withdrawal
Agreement, UK entities' right to participate in EU programmes during the current Multiannual
Financial Framework period, such as Horizon 2020 and Creative Europe, will be unaffected
by the UK's withdrawal from the EU for the lifetime of projects financed by the current
MFF. According to the Withdrawal Agreement, UK based organisations and individuals
will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, until programme
closure.</p>
