</p><p>Please note that the SME figures may include some HES or REC organisations.</p><p>The
variation in the figures across the years in part reflects the fact that calls are
competitively bid for and vary considerably in the amount of funding available; and
in part the fact that the FP7 budget was back-loaded, with increasing amounts of money
available to award as grants in the final two years of the programme (2012-2013).
In contrast, relatively few grants were awarded in the first year of Horizon 2020
(2014), which thereafter is due to run with annual budgets larger than those available
to FP7.</p><p>Overall, the UK was the second biggest recipient of EU research funding
under FP7, and remains so under Horizon 2020.</p>
