	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>Until our departure from the EU, we remain a fully paid up Member State, with all the rights and obligations that entails. All UK-based researchers, wherever they are located within the UK, can continue to apply for competitive EU research funding, such as the Horizon 2020 programme, while we remain a member of the EU. We will work with the European Commission to ensure payment when funds are awarded. The Treasury will underwrite the payment for such awards, even when specific projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. Access to apply for Horizon 2020 after we leave the EU will be a matter for the negotiations that will follow the triggering of Article 50.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 14/11/2016 14:18:36 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
