<p>As part of our future partnership with the EU, the UK will look to establish an
ambitious future agreement on science and innovation that ensures the valuable research
links between us continue to grow.</p><p>The Government has been taking rigorous and
extensive analysis work to support our exit negotiations, as any responsible Government
should, in order to inform our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK's domestic
policies and frameworks. We have been engaging with relevant stakeholders from all
sectors of the economy and all regions of the UK as part of this process, and will
continue to do so as we move forward.</p><p>We have been clear the Government will
not provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried
out within government.</p><p>The UK and EU negotiating teams have reached another
important milestone in the Brexit process by agreeing the terms of a time-limited
implementation period. The agreement envisages that UK entities’ right to participate
in EU programmes will be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.</p><p>In addition,
the UK Government has committed to underwrite Horizon 2020 funding if necessary. This
guarantees funding for UK participants in projects ongoing at the point of exit, as
well as any successful bids submitted before the UK leaves the EU.</p>
