<p>Science and research are vital to the UK’s prosperity, security and wellbeing,
and are at the heart of the Government’s industrial strategy. 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 the UK
and the EU continue to grow.</p><p> </p><p>The Joint Report sets out that the UK and
the EU fully intend UK participants’ eligibility in Horizon 2020 to remain unchanged
for the duration of the programme. 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>
