	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for UK Science and Research as we exit the European Union. Following the referendum we set up a dedicated mailbox (<a href="mailto:research@beis.gov.uk" target="_blank">research@beis.gov.uk</a>) to allow academics, researchers and others with an interest to register any issues experienced in engaging with European activities. Since the announcement of the government underwrite of funding, the number of representations received has been low. Stakeholders have largely been in touch to seek clarification – both on the extent of the funding guarantee, and on the eligibility of UK applicants to continue participating in EU research projects after exit – rather than to report cases of discrimination.</p><p>The Joint Report, published by the UK and EU negotiating teams on 8th December 2017, and agreed by the European Council, makes clear that, as part of the overall withdrawal agreement, the UK’s right to participate in EU programmes, including Horizon 2020, will be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. UK based organisations and individuals will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia for the remainder of the programmes including in 2019 and 2020.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 15/01/2018 11:20:29 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

This includes eligibility to participate in Horizon 2020 projects and to receive Horizon 2020 funding for the lifetime of projects. The Government encourages the UK research and innovation community to continue to bid for Horizon 2020 funding and participate in Horizon 2020 projects.</p><p> </p><p>The Government's underwrite guarantee of Horizon 2020 funding remains in place in the event that commitments enshrined in the Joint Report are not met. This guarantees funding for UK participants in projects ongoing at the point of exit. It also includes projects that are only informed of their success or sign a grant agreement after the UK's withdrawal from the EU.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 26/04/2018 15:27:17 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
