<p>The UK is eligible to fully participate in all aspects of the Horizon 2020 programme,
including the European Research Council (ERC), while we remain a member of the EU.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, the Joint Report presented by EU and UK negotiators states that:
“following withdrawal from the Union the UK will continue to participate in the Union
programmes financed by the MFF 2014-2020 until their closure”. This includes participation
in Horizon 2020.</p><p>This means that, subject to the Withdrawal Agreement, ERC grant
holders will continue to be eligible to relocate their grants to and from the UK.</p><p>
</p><p>However, the Government’s underwrite guarantee remains in place in the event
that commitments made in the Joint Report are not met. This ensures UK participants
who successfully bid for competitive EU funds, including those delivered through the
ERC, before the UK’s withdrawal from the EU will receive funding.</p>
